Recommendation 28
28
Mandate regulators with resources to proactively enforce accessibility laws and publish breach data.
Recommendation
The Secretary of State should immediately give regulators an explicit mandate, backed by the necessary resources, to be far more proactive within the scope of their current powers in identifying and enforcing against breaches of accessibility law and regulations by operators. The Department 79 should set annual reporting requirements for regulators to publish updates on the number of breaches of accessibility laws, regulations and guidance that they have a) identified, b) addressed through informal action and c) taken formal enforcement action against. This transparency would enable the public to gauge the success of a new stance of proactive enforcement. (Recommendation, Paragraph 166)
