Charities Launch Campaign To Improve Accessible Video On Demand Programmes In The UK

Charities have come together to campaign for improvements to Audio Description, Subtitles and Captioning for programmes that are viewed via Video On Demand services.

The provision is patchy and despite current laws, things seem to have stalled.

This leaves many people unable to enjoy their shows and films in the same way that others do and with streaming being part of our conversation culture now, many cannot join in the discussion about the latest shows and plot lines.

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Sonali Rai, from RNIB, and AD user Reece Finnegan, to learn more about the Campaign and the petition.

If you'd like to learn more about the campaign and sign the petition, go to RNIB campaigns | Sign our petition asking the Government to make more Video on Demand accessible (e-activist.com)

You can also call the Helpline on 0303 123 9999 or ask Alexa to call RNIB Helpline.
