TAG promotes equality of access to electronic communications for deaf and hard-of-hearing people in the UK.

TAG works with government, Ofcom and commercial organisations to ensure that the e-comms needs of deaf, deafened, hard-of-hearing, deafblind people and sign language users are addressed.  

Currently, TAG's main campaign is for the modernisation of telephone relay services for deaf people. New campaign plan here.

TAG is a consortium of the main UK deaf organisations concerned with e-comms. We welcome contact from deaf individuals.
