Accessible Broadcast
Inclusion is not just a good thing to do: legally producers have a responsibility to ensure that viewers are not discriminated against, protecting the rights of people with disability.
Access Services are features that allow everyone to experience your production. This includes audio description, captions, accessible transcripts and sign interpretors.
