The Department, in collaboration with the Royal National Institute of Blind People, is currently undertaking pilots that aim to better understand the testing requirements for people with visual impairments and how we can accommodate their testing needs. The findings from these pilots will be used to improve the end-to-end user experience, from booking through to taking a test and receiving a result.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 19/08/2020 20:47:37 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
