The ombudsman's office is assigned to the commissioner for the interests of people with disabilities and is legally anchored in §§ 10d, 10e BGG NRW and §§ 9 ff of the BITV NRW. With the involvement of all parties concerned, the ombudsman's office attempts to determine the circumstances of the lack of accessibility so that the provider can rectify them.
