How to cater for colour blind viewers

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Trust has upheld complaints that the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s 2015 UK general election coverage failed to cater for colour blind viewers.

Community interest group Colour Blind Awareness complained some of the broadcasts were a "joke" for 2 million colour blind voters, who could not read graphics and website information depicted in different colours.

President of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, Carrie MacEwen, told Eddie Mair it was "important to recognise that not everybody sees things in exactly the same way."
