Hi George, I first heard about this on intouch. looked it up at the RNIB website and red the report. makes depressing reading really and this issue effects me, being a person in the position of trying to get into work. have been for years and met a lot of rejection, not only from employers but from job centre Plus's dEA team that didn't wanna know for a long time. still, they aren't all that bothered and it's a fight to get any practical help from anyone! anyway, what I was going ask is, can we all sign this, or are the RNIB just after signitures from business people and health and social services professionals etc. Justin ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 2:13 PM Subject: [access-uk] Work Matters Charter > The Moderator of the BCAB list has asked me to pass on the following. > > George Bell. > > Subject: Work Matters Charter > > Folks > > RNIB is running a "Heightened Awareness Period" on the issue of > employment. > As part of this, they have produced a "Work Matters Charter".
