RNIB's library catalogue issues, Young VIP campaigners, Tony Shearman's column
Why the RNIB's library catalogue is partly inaccessible, young visually impaired campaigners tell MPs what they want, and Tony Shearman calls for more positivity around blindness.
Listener Eve Smyth is a keen reader who, as a member of a number of reading groups, enjoys browsing through book catalogues like the RNIB's library of braille and audiobooks. However, last September she became unable to log in. We find out why, and ask Dr Mike Townsend from the British Computer Association of the Blind what can be done to solve this problem.
We hear from two young visually impaired campaigners, Elise Crayton and Christopher Reddington, who are off to Westminster to tell MPs what protection they want in the workplace.
And Tony Shearman presents a column where he calls for more positive language when talking about blindness.
Producer: Cheryl Gabriel.
