BABPS encourages all cane users to have first gone through an Orientation and Mobility techniques Training provided by a qualified O and M specialist before obtaining the cane. BABPS sometimes offers mobility techniques training if there is funding and this will be communicated to any who wishes to attend the training. BABPS has the right to confiscate and refuse a member the white cane if the member lacks the O and M skills required. BABPS also takes no responsibility for any matter that can occur due to the cane users carelessness and improper use of the white cane provided.
