Happy World Braille Day! Thanks @JeremyRBalfour for the motion highlighting the importance of braille and the difference it makes to the lives of many blind people. Accessible communication is essential for inclusion and today we celebrate Louis Braille.
Picture of the motion that reads: "That the Parliament recognises World Braille Day on 4 January 2024; understands that this day raises awareness about the importance of Braille and celebrates the legacy of Louis Braille; recognises that, in 2018, the United Nations General Assembly decided to make it an official observance; understands that World Braille Day promotes awareness of the importance of accessibility and inclusion in education and information in the digital age; believes that much can be done for people who have a visual impairment, and commends all of the advocacy that those celebrating World Braille Day do to promote Braille literacy and inclusion for people with visual impairments."
