As Andy Burnham settles into his new role as Prime Minister, we'll be closely watching how the re-shaped UK Government delivers on the issues that matter most to blind and partially sighted people. Read our news item on the changes we’re campaigning for: rnib.in/new-pm

Yesterday saw the publication of the 4th report from the @ukcovid-19inquiry.bsky.social examining covid vaccines and therapeutics. We're pleased it included a section on 'Physical accessibility and accessible communications'.

Hi 👋 I’m Holly. I’m a Social Media Manager. I applied to Access to Work for a support worker to assist me in my role. Here's a thread on how that's going.

A lot to digest in today's 2nd report from the UK Covid Inquiry. Here’s our initial take

Glad to help organise this discussion on #Accessibility at #LabourPartyConference - a topic that deserves far more attention. It's time to design for everyone and we need both business and UK Government to play their part

200 years ago, Louis Braille invented the 6-dot tactile written code that would become known as braille. It has empowered blind and partially sighted people to read, write, and access information for 200 years - and continues to do so. Here’s my first name as a visual representation of braille!

If changes were made, we believe it could increase the number of blind and partially sighted people who are able to enforce their rights using the Equality Act.

We're delighted that last week the Ministry of Justice opened a Call for Evidence on Costs Protection for Discrimination Claims, running until 19 February 2025: www.gov.uk/government/c...

gov.uk

Costs protection for discrimination claims

This Call for Evidence seeks views on whether costs protection should be extended to discrimination claims in civil courts in England and Wales.

In the run up to the UK General Election, RNIB called on all parties to extend something called 'qualified one-way costs shifting' to apply to goods and services discrimination claims. This would be an important way to reduce the financial risk to the claimant.

The Equality Act 2010 protects blind and partially sighted people from discrimination in the workplace and in access to goods and services, but there are gaps and barriers to people enforcing their rights, including the financial risk to a claimant if their case does not succeed.

Proud to have been part of intensive work over recent months to ensure that the experiences of blind and partially sighted people has been heard in the #UKCovidInquiry as it examined healthcare during the pandemic. Lessons must be learnt.

Well that went as well as I could have hoped, all the more exciting with wind, mud and rain... Lovely volunteers and a brilliantly organised event from @canarytrails.bsky.social

So my first post here has to be about this fabulous event now underway a few miles from me. Looking forward to taking part tomorrow, albeit in slightly more moody weather than today’s sunshine...
