As lockdown is relaxed, Peter gathers three people of different ages and walks of life to consider the impact of the last 12 weeks - and what the future holds.
Elin Williams of Look UK is at the start of her working life. Emma Williams is part of the Independent Living Skills Team at New College Worcester, and Kevin Mulhern is a writer and producer of TV and radio.
Together they sum up how lockdown has affected them, from enjoying the accessibility of online communications, to feeling that vital navigation skills have waned through lack of use. Emma imagines the challenge of teaching young blind people living skills if you can't touch them - and Kevin considers how blind people's assertions of independence will be tested in a world where direct help may be less forthcoming. Looking to the future, Elin raises the question of whether the ease of online protest and blogging may have to be replaced by a more forthright activism.
Presented by Peter White.
Produced by Kevin Core.
