Only one in three blind people between 18 and 29 has a job. As Blind in Business launch a year-long campaign to highlight the skills of visually-impaired graduates, our reporter Lee Kumutat, over in the UK from Australia, tries to discover why finding employment here, can be a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. Plus writer and broadcaster Rob Crossan on why, instead of making light of his sight loss to put people at ease, he is often tempted to 'blind up' and let people overestimate his disability.
