Your obligations regarding the design and content
- For Basic Packs: All content and design specifications must be finalised at the time of submitting the application. We recommend that all stakeholders have been consulted prior to submitting your application.
- Drafts for all communication aid requests: A draft is provided once the communication aid is designed. Final accuracy is the responsibility of the customer, please ensure that you have thoroughly reviewed the draft before confirmation. Only minor edits can be requested at the draft review (e.g. change of spelling or image changes) and do not include substantial changes. Additional changes requested to the type of aid, the content or design, may incur additional fees.
- Communication aids typically take four weeks from receipt of application to collection/postage. Variances may occur, and timelines will be confirmed in consultation with the customer.
- Your communication aid can be updated with minor changes within one year of the original application (this will be at the discretion of the Non-electronic Communication Aid Service).
