Is Employment Gap Improving For Visually Impaired People?

It is well known that it is harder for blind and partially sighted people to enter the job market, due to outdated stereotypes and a lack of awareness of individual's strengths and potential.

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Tara Chattaway, TPT, to learn more about the research.
