Ofcom seeks research on BSL users' access service experiences on TV and VoD.
Ofcom is commissioning research to explore British Sign Language (BSL) users' experiences and preferences for access services on linear TV and Video-on-Demand (VoD) platforms. The study will investigate types of services used, satisfaction with sign-presented or sign-interpreted programming, and expectations for future provision. It also aims to understand audiences' awareness of the regulatory landscape and funding arrangements. The research will explore the impact on the BSL community and demand for professional BSL interpreters. This is a below-threshold limited competition contract.
