Research shows that blind and partially sighted children throughout the UK are losing out as teachers struggle to provide textbooks they can read.
* Less than 1 maths or science title in 40 is available in large print at KS3
* None of the atlases and dictionaries most widely used at KS4 is available in any accessible format
* Less than 10% of children's fiction is available in large print, audio and Braille
* 9 out of 10 teachers believe this situation has a detrimental effect on pupil's social inclusion and educational development.
These findings have been published in the report Where's My Book? As part of the Right to Read Campaign. The RNIB is holding a meeting with MPs at the House of Commons on 28th March to raise awareness of the situation, to which they invite anyone interested in supporting this campaign. You can also help by signing the declaration online .
