Accessible Information on COVID-19
The motion
That the Parliament believes that everyone should be able to receive both digital and paper-based information relating to the COVID-19 pandemic in a format that is accessible to them; notes the work of RNIB Scotland and the Scottish Government to ensure that information is accessible to blind and partially-sighted people across the country; calls on all public bodies to ensure that their digital content can be read by screen readers and that graphics are described, and that their paper-based content is available in alternative formats, including Braille, audio and large print, and encourages all MSPs to consider the accessibility of their communications to ensure that they can be read by all constituents.
