NHS England's Head of Public Policy Olivia Butterworth asks for listeners' experiences of obtaining information in an accessible format, following the recent introduction of the Accessible Information Standard.

Student Charles Bloch was refused a taxi journey with his guide dog and the taxi driver was taken to court and fined for the offence.
