    Brief

    This research opportunity seeks to understand how British Sign Language (BSL) users experience and access services on television and video-on-demand (VoD) platforms. The study will investigate: current usage patterns and user preferences across different service types (linear TV, catch-up TV, subscription services); practical experiences watching programmes with access services, including sign-presented and sign-interpreted content; satisfaction levels with BSL and other access provision; user expectations for improved future services; understanding of current regulations and funding for access services; and the broader impact of BSL programming on deaf culture and professional interpreters. Researchers should be experienced in qualitative research methods, accessibility services, and engagement with deaf communities. The findings will inform content providers and regulators about accessibility improvements and service preferences.
