Insight Pod-Bites – Digital Exclusion and Technology

Insight Pod-Bites is a new RNIB Podcast produced by Charlotte Jones, RNIB’s Knowledge Communications Officer, providing a roundup of the latest information and insight from RNIB’s Research on a range of topics relating to sight loss.

In this second episode of Insight Pod-Bites, Charlotte focuses on why blind and partially sighted people are twice as likely to be digitally excluded and what barriers they face with technology but also how technology can be a real enabler for people with sight loss.

In the podcast, Charlotte speaks with several people about their good and bad tech experiences, and also speaks with Scott Wood, RNIB’s Technology for Life Team Leader about how RNIB’s Technology for Life team is helping to tackle digital exclusion and what tech support they can offer blind and partially sighted people.
