A number of local authorities use their website to communicate the services available to visually impaired people from their libraries.</p><p> </p><p>Libraries Connected has developed the Six Steps Promise with the Royal National Institute for the Blind and Share the Vision to ensure libraries can support people with reduced vision. The promise includes:</p><ul><li>ensuring that all blind and partially sighted customers are connected to the most appropriate service for their reading needs and that they are able to make full use of an accessible public library service</li><li>using Reading Sight, a free website supporting blind and partially sighted people to access reading and reading services</li><li>providing local collections of accessible reading materials and information in physical or digital formats, and be able to signpost library users to a wider range of resources</li></ul><p> </p><p> </p> question first answered 23/10/2019 13:39:51 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman

	answer	answer answer text <p>Local authorities are responsible for their own commercial investment strategies and are accountable to their electorate. Nevertheless, in making investments, authorities must ensure they comply with the Prudential Framework, including the four statutory codes.</p><p>Recent changes to the operation of the Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) are designed to stop local authorities from accessing PWLB borrowing if they are planning on undertaking investments primarily for yield. Government is also working closely with CIPFA on its revised statutory Prudential Code. Further, Government is currently reviewing all elements of the Prudential Framework to ensure they are fit for purpose.</p><p> </p> question first answered 21/05/2021 12:37:26 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
