Studio 1

Employing a Person with a Vision Impairment

Listen on

Episode notes

Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week…

Well, last week, we asked if you would give a job to someone with a vision impairment

https://omny.fm/shows/studio1/would-you-employ-a-blind-person

This week we look into the support that is available for both employers and employees once they’ve taken the decision to work together.

We’ll talk to Brian Dibbins of the Royal Society for the Blind about the support his organisation gave to both parties

If you’ve been affected by any of the issues in this week’s show - or if there’s something you feel we need to talk about on future shows, please do get in touch.
