Introduction
This area of our website contains all CAP and BCAP consultations. You can access CAP or BCAP's consideration of responses to consultations and the resulting Code changes. You can also find out about how CAP and BCAP consult.
How CAP and BCAP consult
Consultations allow those affected by or concerned about a consultation subject to put forward their opinions and supporting evidence for CAP and BCAP to take into account when making decisions about proposed changes to the advertising Codes.
We endeavor to make our consultations clear and open by:
-
involving, as far as possible, everyone whose views should be considered, for example small and large advertisers, professional associations, marketers, consumer groups, media owners, public bodies and individuals
-
clearly setting out our proposed Code changes and explaining the policy considerations underpinning these in a Consultation Document
-
considering all consultation responses to understand the possible effects of our proposals and inform our decisions about changing the Codes
-
when a consultation is closed, publishing the outcome and an explanation of how responses helped shape it
