I received a card, similar to a credit card, from GDBA and on this in braille
it says "Accesscard" and it was accompanied by a print letter explaining why it
had been issued and reminding us of our rights.

Maybe call your local office if you have not received one.
The other thing I recently got was a booklet with guidance on free running. I
had to ring the office though for a braille version.

Subject: [access-uk] Braille on New GDBA Access for All Card
Hi All GDOs who read Braille. What do you think of trhe standard of Braille
on this new card brought out by the Campeign's Department of GDBA? The
Braille is extra small, inaccurate on my card and when I brought this to the
attention of the Campeign's Department, I was told that there were no errors
and that the Brailling of the card had been outsourced. Surely it is
reasonable to expect an organisation dealing with blind people who use
Braille as a medium for reading, should get it right! I was informed that
some people had phoned up about this. I would like to encourage others to
do likewise so that maybe when the next batch are written they can at least
be done correctly. There was no reason for the Braille to be all to one
side and not to include all letters as it is only covering about a third of
the width of the card as it is.
