- Description
- This document summarises the outcome of a review of television access services (subtitling, signing and audio description) that Ofcom consulted on in September 2009. Under the Communications Act 2003 Ofcom is required to carry out periodic reviews of its regulation in this area. The review looked at whether the requirements for channels to provide access services are fit for purpose; whether Ofcom-licensed channels targeting countries outside of the UK should be required to provide access services, and whether there was a case for increasing audio description targets. Ofcom concluded that the case for and against change to the targets was finely balanced, and has forwarded its findings to the Secretary of State for consideration.
