RNIB can help you to reach your blind and partially sighted customers, employees, visitors and peers. Our solutions are wide ranging and many will have positive benefits for other customer groups too. Where possible, we will suggest solutions that are mainstream but still meet the needs of blind and partially sighted people.
It's essential that as a business, you ensure that you are reaching blind and partially sighted people. Why? Because it makes business sense to build and retain your customer base. It makes legal sense in view of the Disability Discrimination Act and Disability Equality Duty. And it makes sense for your social responsibility objectives to include all parts of your community.
