Statement published 6 April 2017

This document reports on Ofcom’s decisions to alter the way it collects and publishes data on the accessibility of on-demand programme services (“ODPS”) for people with hearing and/or sight impairments.

It also sets out Ofcom’s plans more generally for meeting its duties to:

a) encourage providers of ODPS to ensure their services are progressively made more accessible to people with hearing and/or sight impairments; and

b) ensure that providers of ODPS promote programmes of European origin, known as ‘European works’.
