Imagine having to ask a stranger to read your pregnancy test for you, tell you what's in the results letter from the hospital or even if you've been accepted, or refused, a bank loan?

That's what it's like for many blind and partially sighted people, despite legislation like the Equalities Act protecting the right to accessible information.

The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has launched it's "Design For Everyone" campaign to tackle the absence of privacy for people with sight loss.
RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to, blind mum, Danielle Cleary, who took part in the campaign and was involved in the creation of the world's first, prototype, accessible pregnancy test.
