Ofcom Code on Television Access Services sets targets for the audio-description that broadcasters in the UK are required to provide under the Communications Act 2003.
Currently, the legislation requiring broadcasters to provide audio description does not extend to video-on-demand services, and we encourage users of audio description to reach out to the on-demand programme service providers, to let them know of the need and significance for this service.
If you'd like to submit a complaint to the broadcasters or even share feedback on the audio description delivered on a channel, you can do so using one of the following tools:
