Was a senior management person contacted at RNIB with regard to this? Maybe the matter needs to be taken a level higher than the Sales Representative or communicating on-line. ----- Original Message ----- From: Clive.Lever@xxxxxxxxxxx To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2012 3:24 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: opinions wanted Hello, I agree with you. They should abide by their own advice, that a blind or partially-sighted person is entitled to receive information in their preferred format wherever possible. If they refuse, they should have a darn good reason for it, and should let you know what it is, but they must think about how to say yes before they think about saying no. They are the leaders. If they can't set the example, how can they expect others to follow it?

We were going to buy a product from R N I B but did not in the end go through with the purchase, reason being that they could not give us audio instructions. nor could they provide braille but that would not help as we are not competent readers. This organisation are all too ready to make others provide alternate formats but don't do it themselves. We are totally disgusted. surely they should act by example. Hazel & Kim
