Food and soft drink advertising to children
Food and soft drink advertising to children
As of 1 July 2017, HFSS product advertisements will be subject to dedicated restrictions on their placement and content. These rules respond to wider concerns about childhood diet and obesity and recognise changes in the media environment over the past decade bringing non-broadcast media, including online spaces, into line with the rules for broadcast advertising. This course will give you an overview of the main rules that apply when advertising food and soft drink products to children in non-broadcast media. It will also take you through some exercises to put your understanding into practice and will end with an assessment to test what you've learned.
