Notice Information

Notice Title

Understanding the tech accreditation landscape

Notice Description

Ofcom has a requirement to develop its knowledge and evidence base on how technologies are currently being evaluated and accredited. This would inform the development of a robust and effective accreditation process. To support this work, it would like to draw on evidence of how existing accreditation processes have been developed, evaluated, and operationalised in practice. Whilst we are interested in understanding a range of different approaches to accreditation, we are most interested in understanding approaches that are likely to inform our work on developing an accreditation process for technologies that we may wish to recommend in tech notices
