Ofcom plays a vital role to make communications work for everyone in Wales.  

We ensure the unique communications interests of people in Wales are included in Ofcom’s policymaking and that Ofcom’s work is understood in Wales. We keep in touch with the views and opinions of citizens and consumers, the regulated industries and stakeholders more generally across Wales. We ensure the experience and expertise of Ofcom’s Advisory Committee, Main Board, Content and Communications Consumer Panel members for Wales also feed into our work. And, where relevant, we proudly promote and facilitate the use of the Welsh language in our work.

We welcome calls and correspondence in Welsh & English
