I am a teacher/SENCO - how can I obtain an accessible version of a school textbook for a pupil with special educational needs?

Requests for electronic material for visually impaired and print-disabled students must be made via RNIB Bookshare (formerly Load2Learn). Bookshare is a charity online database run by the Royal National Institute for the Blind that provides educational materials free of charge to VIP students in the UK. Please note that requests are accepted only from educational institutions on behalf of individual students.

If Bookshre are unable to fulfil your request, please contact vip@hodder.co.uk with the completed VIP permissions form attached. Email requests currently have a processing time of between four and six weeks, and there will be a charge to reflect the costs we incur in supplying files.

Please note that the file we provide is a standard PDF format. We do not produce Braille or large print copies, but we permit visually-impaired persons and affiliate organizations to create accessible copies of the text to suit individual needs.

What is an eInspection copy and how does it work?
An eInspection copy is an online version of a book which lets you evaluate it free of charge for a limited time. It's only available to teachers based at an educational institution.

You order the free of charge eInspection copy using the ecommerce system on the website, and once complete you'll receive an email with a link to your online version.

eInspection copies are available to view and browse as many times as you like for 30 days after you first click the link, after which the link will expire. You can also forward this link to colleagues so that they can view the eInspection copy too.
 
If we offer an eInspection copy service for a particular book, you will see the option to select this on the product page. Select ‘Order eInspection Copy’ and then click 'Add to basket'. Click the ‘Checkout’ button on the shopping basket pop-up when you are ready and follow the onscreen instructions to complete your purchase.

Where a book is currently published, you'll receive an eInspection copy access details email with a link to access your eInspection copy immediately. For books that are not published yet, you can pre-order an eInspection copy and we’ll automatically email you a link to the eInspection copy as soon as it’s available.

Some of our older eInspection copies use Flash. If you're using the Chrome browser and you're having problems viewing your eInspection copy, you might have to enable flash.
