Copyright Guidelines
The Copyright Licensing Agency has introduced guidelines on Copyright and Visual Impairment to allow books to be made more accessible for people with disabilities.
Provided that a person with a visual impairment, or other disability, which makes them physically unable to use a book, owns a copy of it, then it is possible to transcribe the book into a more accessible format without seeking special permission.
This means that, provided a copy of the book is owned, it is possible for a school to produce an enlarged version, or to scan pictures and text into a computer to create a talking book for a pupil.
Further details are available from the Copyright Licensing Agency web site:
