Ofcom is holding a series of public meetings to gain feedback on its proposed Annual Plan, which outlines Ofcom’s planned areas of work for the next financial year.

Ofcom says that it wants to make communications markets “work for everyone”. To help achieve this, Ofcom has three main goals: to promote good consumer outcomes through competition; to secure standards and improve quality; and to protect consumers from harm.

Those with an interest in these areas are encouraged to attend one of the meetings, which offer an opportunity to comment on Ofcom’s approach to TV, radio, telecoms, postal and wireless communications services.

Each meeting will begin with a brief presentation, after which there will be an opportunity to comment and ask questions. All meetings are open and free of charge. Further details are available here.

Ofcom says that the views expressed in the meetings, together with responses to Ofcom’s consultation document, will help Ofcom inform its final Annual Plan statement for 2017/18, due to be published in March. To access the consultation, click here.
