More help needs to be directed to supporting blind and partially sighted people into work.

That’s according to the new Out of Sight – Out of Work report, written by Lord Holmes of Richmond, who went blind as a child.

It’s found 73% of blind and partially sighted people of working age are not in employment compared to 17% of the non-disabled population.

The Department for Work and Pensions says it’s investing £3.5billion in disability employment support.
