Ofcom give update on the release of their consultation

The Future of PRS Regulation, Ofcom Consultation Update

Ofcom logo

Industry had been expecting the release for the Future of PRS Regulation Ofcom Consultation, over the next few days. However, aimm has had an update from Ofcom stating that they have had to push this date back to early November, as they iron out the final details.

aimm has a series of Consultation workshops for our members in the diaries, to provide an opportunity for an exchange of views and feedback during the consultation period (which is expected to be 8 weeks).

As we look to reschedule these for the later release date there may be the opportunity for non-members to book a seat at one of our virtual online workshops, so others across industry have the chance to add their voice alongside that of the membership.

aimm will be submitting an official response to the consultation, as we do with all regulatory consultations, and the feedback we receive from across the industry value chain during these workshops helps to shape this document.

Having a seat at one of our workshops is a valuable opportunity to have your voice heard on such a pivotal regulatory milestone. If anyone is interested in finding out more about these workshops please get in contact with aimm.

 

Ofcom Consultation October release date

Ofcom have provided an update about the release of their pending consultation to industry.

It had been expected at the start of September, but they have now confirmed that they are working to publish their document in early to middle of October. The consultation period is expected to be 8 weeks long. There is however, the potential that this may get pushed back due to the Parliamentary Recess taking place during this time.

This consultation represents the biggest regulatory change in 10 years, and industry are looking to this document to see what the regulatory landscape will look like going forwards, though Ofcom have confirmed they hope to keep as much of Code 15 as possible.

aimm’s Code 15 training is available for companies who wish to ensure that their business and staff are compliant under this Code. This comprehensive training provides a look at the key elements of Code 15 and the Standards a Provider is required to operate under. If this is something you would like to learn more about and how this could benefit your business get your copy of the information pack above.

aimm are running a series of Workshops through November to allow members to provide feedback and thoughts that will contribute to aimm’s consultation response.

We will continue to keep industry updated on this and the timelines for this release. If you wish to receive occasional industry and regulatory updates for your business please use our contact form to request to join our mailing list.
