| ITC
Guidelines The Broadcasting Act 1996 requires
the ITC to draw up, and from time to time review, a
Code on promoting the understanding and enjoyment of
programmes carried on digital terrestrial television
(DTT), by persons who are deaf or hard of hearing and
blind or partially-sighted. Particular requirements
relating to the provision of sign language were also
specified in a Statutory Order issued on 28 January
1997. The ITC Code on Subtitling, Sign Language and
Audio Description on Digital Terrestrial Television
states that Licensees are expected to observe the standards
set out in these Guidelines.
