📢In our next case study, Charmaine calls Braille a “lifeline”.
🗣️“We need to be able to find the food that we want to eat, not just grab something off the shelf and then put it back. Braille labelling would absolutely help with that.”

(1/3) This week, disability activist @lucyedwards shared an instance where a security tag was covering #braille on a skincare product they purchased. Covering braille prevents braille users from independently identifying and using products.

(2/3) #Braille is a key part of accessible communications. We are calling on @scotgov to introduce mandatory braille labelling on food products for retailers, because we believe everyone should be able to identify food products safely and independently.
Our #BrailleLabelling petition in partnership with @DEScotTweets and Oban and District Access Panel is calling for braille labels to be on food products across Scotland.
