Services for people with a visual or hearing impairment
There are 13.9 million disabled people in the UK today, which is 20.9% of the population.
Producing information in a way that all our customers can read is fair, makes business sense and is the law. Because a customer has a disability does not mean that they are not capable of making decisions and leading independent lives.
We work hard to make sure we provide choice to our customers and that staff understand the importance of listening and meeting different customer needs.
Induction loops
Our offices have in built audio induction loops, or if you contact us before your visit, we can arrange a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter for when you visit us in person
Large Print
Many people have a visual impairment which makes it difficult for them to read standard sized print, but they can read “larger print”. If you require a document in larger format contact us (details below) and we will do this for you within 10 working days.
Braille
Braille is used regularly by about 10,000 people in the UK. Documents requested for transcription are sent out within 10 working days.
Audio
An audio CD is available for customers with visual impairments upon request within 10 working days.

We have a contract with Language Line for customers whose first language is not English for telephone interpretation, call us on 01427 676676 to find out more about this service. You can also request a document to be translated into your language.
