Media Accessibility

Media Education has a policy of social inclusion and promotes integration and widening access to all types of media.

Part of the Disability Discrimination Act Part III (1999) requires that reasonable adjustments are made to practice, policy or procedure to ensure that people with disabilities can access information and services on equal terms to non disabled people.

Media Education provides a range of media services to help fulfil these requirements.

These include:

• audio reading for printed information (like bank statements)
• translation into minority ethnic languages
• video description, BSL signers and subtitles
