Assists people who are blind or visually impaired in improving independent travel skills related to personal and vocational needs.
The Blind Relief Association was founded in 1945 with the principal aim of ensuring that visually impaired people are not marginalised but rather integrated into the community through education and training.
Nevertheless RNIB is confident that the approach taken in the legislation should ensure that blind and partially sighted people see significant progress in obtaining information that they can access.

This list is open to all people aged over 17 years who are blind or partially sighted and sighted people who are involved in the lives of visually impaired people whether professionally or socially.
Blind and partially sighted people would have not been able to take part in this and this would be a good opportunity to raise awareness of the barriers for blind and partially sighted people face.

While people who are blind or visually impaired currently use assistive technologies such as screen readers and screen magnification devices to access the Web, most sites are not designed in such a way that these devices can properly read site content.
RNIB is working to maximise the opportunities that technology can offer to enable blind and partially sighted people to get through many of the communication barriers experienced in their daily lives.
