Hi Brendan You said: "if you are an employee, the Braillenote belongs to your employer and is therefore presumably covered by any insurance your employer may have for equipment which is portable." Yes but it's worth remembering that even if the employer does have insurance, it will come down to did the employee have the employer's permission to take the equipment away from the employer's site. Just as a sighted member of staff has no automatic right to take his or her tools away from the office, blind people also don't have an automatic right either. It would depend on what the person's job is, what their contract says regarding responsibility and care of equipment that is taken away off site.
