6.3. Best practice guidance on obtaining consent

Industry and consumers would benefit from the development and distribution of best practice guidance on obtaining consent from consumers in specific consumer categories.

This report has collected a range of available resources on obtaining consent from specific consumer categories (see Appendix 1). However, there is a notable gap in the relevant information that is available regarding consent and specific consumer categories in the communications sector. Most information sources regarding capacity have a focus on the health sector. Most information sources on communications and accessibility issues do not deal with consent.
