The RNIB have announced big changes to their braille library service. From next month braille books will be smaller, slimmer and newly printed on demand. Users won't even have to return the books but can instead choose to upgrade by buying a more robust spiral-bound version.
The new Census 2021 forms are dropping through letterboxes and the organisers, the Office for National Statistics, are promising it will be the most accessible yet. We'll hear from their Deputy National Statistician Iain Bell about what they've got planned. A telephone contact centre is available on 0800 141 2021 in England and 0800 169 2021 in Wales.
And the TV soaps often seek to reflect life back at us by featuring storylines about illness or medical conditions. Coronation Street is the latest to do that with their portrayal of Charles Bonnet Syndrome - a condition affecting people with sight loss that often involves frightening hallucinations. We talk to the actor Richard Hawley who plays the newly-diagnosed Johnny Connor in the soap.
