Derek if the RNIB can not give a blind person advice when they've been discriminated by a company then it's another nail in their coffen of respect and an organisation blind people turn to for help. I can't believe your serious by thinking it's acceptible for somebody like the RNIB to say they can't offer employment advice! Wise up! Dj Paddy Is this guy for real?

Why? They have said: "RNIB does not have anyone who can assist with employment law." Do we really expect RNIB to have a lawyer on its staff, to cover every kind of legal issue! and the advice seems reasonable that Kevin approach local Citizens Advice Bureau, as they can assist with employment law. This is surely the point at issue here, a need for advice from someone that is *qualified* to deal with employment law. There is nothing to stop Kevin make an appointment with a solicitor, take legal action against the company if he is sure he has been discriminated against. There is no sense RNIB taking up every DDA case because for one thing there is no certainty of a win and if one looses, one has to pay other sides costs.
