What is Braille? | World Braille Day 2020 | Newsround

#WorldBrailleDay is on 4 January and is a day to raise awareness of the importance of braille in helping blind and partially sighted people communicate. According to the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) there are around 20,000 braille users in the UK. We spoke to some pupils who use braille at school to find out how it helps them in and outside of the classroom. They also told Newsround where they'd like braille to be used more.
