BLIND and visually-impaired people on Teesside are being invited to take part in a survey to find out what computing facilities are on offer.

The consultation, in the form of a questionnaire, has been organised by Stockton Borough Council's library service and Stockton Blind People's Voice.

It will run throughout this month and can be completed by individuals, through an interview with a project worker, or with questions over the phone.

The aim is to assess what training and help needs to be available to encourage blind and visually-impaired people to reap the benefits of modern technology.
