The student to which the Deputy refers has been provided with one print copy of brailled books from the National Braille Production Centre (NBPC). The NBPC's current policy is to make one set of books available in hard copy format to the client and provide an alternative electronic copy that schools/parents can arrange to braille. In exceptional circumstances, the NBPC will provide a second copy of the braille books. I am pleased to advise the Deputy that given the circumstances of this case, the NBPC is now making arrangements to provide a second set of books to the student concerned, which should be available within two weeks.
