PROVISION OF ACCESS SERVICES CODE

The revised Provision of Access Services Code (the "Code"), sets out the latest requirements on subtitling, sign language and audio description in accordance with section 28A of the Broadcasting Act 2012.

The Code shall predominantly apply to the public service broadcaster, as well as other media service providers under the jurisdiction of Gibraltar, to ensure that their services are progressively made accessible to people with disabilities.

The Code serves to promote the understanding and enjoyment of programmes by persons who are deaf or are hearing impaired, persons who are blind or partially sighted and persons who are both hearing and visually impaired.

This Code amends a previous document BC 01/17.
