Getting into employment is a major hurdle for people with visual impairments. The process of applying and employer attitudes are big factors in blind or partially sighted people not getting an interview, never mind an offer. However, projects from RNIB have been successful in securing opportunities for us to show our skills and prove ourselves to employers. Chris is one such recipient of this kind of support - Steven Scott met up with him recently to find out how he benefitted from support within RNIB in Scotland. #RNIBConnect #TheWeeklyConnect

A blind woman has won a landmark legal challenge over the height of kerbs in a multi-million pound regeneration scheme in Lisburn, Northern Ireland.

She said the lower kerbs were "dangerous" as she could not tell where the pavement ended and the road began. #RNIBConnect #TheWeeklyConnect
