Assistive Technology Users Wanted to Test HMRC Services
RNIB was recently contacted by HMRC who are currently carrying out research to ensure that the services they design support people using assistive technology, and they are looking for blind and partially sighted people who would be willing to test one of their services for them.
Specifically, they are looking for people who use JAWS, NVDA, or other assistive technology when using the Internet. The service you would be testing supports people importing goods into the UK. However, no knowledge about importing goods is required.
