The CAP writes and maintains the rules contained in both the Broadcast (i.e. TV and radio) and Non-broadcast (i.e. print and online) Codes of Advertising Practice which are enforced by the independent regulator the Advertising Standards Authority.
This announcement is also linked closely to the recent report of the Health Select Committee inquiry into Childhood Obesity which recommended that the Codes of Advertising Practice be tightened to restrict the extent to which HFSS foods can be advertised to children.
