For Those Who Are Visually Impaired/Blind
Do…
-
Stand in good light for partially sighted people.
-
Show a blind person to a seat & introduce them to neighbours.
-
Offer visually impaired people large print/braille literature and signs.
-
Make sure that the floor/ground is as smooth as possible and there are no obstacles in the way.
-
Ensure that any steps or stairs have been marked with high-vis paint or tape so they can be clearly seen.
Don’t...
-
Push a visually impaired person – let them take your arm.
-
Rely on people being able to read to know information.
-
Post pictures without image descriptions.
-
Link to pages on the website by saying “click here” - instead make the hyperlink the name of the page.
