Labour Women and Equalities Secretary and Party Chair, and Chair of the Labour Policy Review, Anneliese Dodds MP, visited the RNIB’s London office the Grimaldi Building on Wednesday 24 January 2024 to have a tour of the building, meet with RNIB Chief Executive Matt Stringer and other key RNIB staff to learn about the obstacles faced by blind and partially sighted people.

After the tour the Shadow Minister chaired a roundtable on disability and employment in which more than 20 disabled people and disability campaigners took part.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Michael Quinlan, representing RNID prior to the start of the round table discussion to find out what topics relating to disability and employment she might like to ask the Shadow Minister and what might be done in the future to make a more inclusive society for disabled people.
