Hi I wonder if I can help. I am a member of the Disability & Special
Needs Advisory Committee of the Communication Workers Union. We
represent all non-Management grades in the BT , the Post Office, as well
as in other communication industries. Although I myself am not visually
impaired (apart from spectacles), I know that BT do employ visually
impaired people & do use screen readers. (I don't know the Post Office
position on this is.) I will ask the committee if we could circulate
your questionnaire throughout our membership, so that you may gain a
better sample.

If you want to contact me, either reply to me here
<[log in to unmask]), or give me a call in the office 0181 765
0698.
