Well deserved, Richard.
I have a y9 student who has recently lost his sight. He cannot see anything on paper or a screen. He has the support of an LSA, and specialist training is due to take place asap. If you have experience of this, any advice on teaching maths to blind students would be much appreciated.

Definitely. And much of our engagement with research is third-hand, at best, having been translated and paraphrased along the way.
