Every year on 18 December we recognise World Braille Day. A day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of Braille in creating a more inclusive and accessible world.
Why Braille Matters
For millions of people around the world, Braille unlocks the ability to read, write, navigate and engage with the environment independently. It plays an essential role in education, employment, freedom of expression and inclusive participation in everyday activities. The United Nations highlights the role of Braille in ensuring that persons with visual impairments enjoy their human rights on the same basis as others.

Whether you need:

Accessibility Is More Than Compliance
Installing Braille signage isn’t just about meeting regulatory obligations; it’s about creating environments where everyone feels welcome and empowered. Good signage helps people with vision impairment move through spaces confidently and safely, whether they’re a visitor, an employee or a customer. Jetmark Signage Group
