In December 2023, the UK’s major Communication Providers agreed to sign a PSTN Charter, committing to improve protections for vulnerable customers. The Charter can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/public-switched-telephone-network-charter/public-switched-telephone-network-charter" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/public-switched-telephone-network-charter/public-switched-telephone-network-charter</a></p><p> </p><p>As set out in the PSTN Charter, Communication Providers have agreed to conduct additional checks on customers who have already been forcibly migrated. This is with a view to ensuring that the customers do not have telecare devices that providers were unaware of, and if they do, to ensure that the correct support is provided to them.</p><p> </p><p>The Government will be monitoring the Communication Providers’ adherence to the Charter through bilateral meetings and through asking the companies for written updates on their approach to the migration.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 22/04/2024 09:07:00 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
