[cma-l] FW: BCAP consultation on post-conception advice services

Who are they ?     and yes you are correct, I'm unaware of any rules
regarding this. We run lots of adverts that have nothing to do with the
Station receiving ''paid advertising''           health n wellbeing, general
advice etc etc               we do it because it is morally right to do so.

You have possibly, gathered my whole approach tends to revolve around morals
as opposed to legals ....... perhaps the reason why I get so frustrated and
angry.

The restrictions etc are WRONG                   full-stop ..... no debate,
no discussion, no consultations               wrong - wrong - wrong   not
acceptable.

Anyway, if something is kicking off, put my name down, I like a ding dong
from time to time it keeps me sane.     LOL

Regards

Nick

It kicked off the last time they consulted in this area.. (Pro life, pro
choice lobbies etc) about pregnancy advice centres etc..

So they decided they want to open the cans of worms up again! and good luck
to them and anyone that feel they want to consult.

Not sure if any community radio station currently takes any advertising or
content of this nature (I also wonder how many stations realise these rules
existed).

Dear All

Further to my most recent e-mail explaining that when God was giving out
brains, I thought he said trains and I missed mine !             does anyone
understand what this is all about ?              I sort of 'get it' but then
again I don't.

Please help ........ if there are any consultation comments needed they can
have mine with pleasure, no holes barred, lock, stock and barrel, direct and
straight to the point ..... Warts n' all.

Obviously we will be on the magic roundabout again, trawling over the same
arguments to same people (still, it keeps em' in a job)   and possibly not
getting anywhere !?

What is there to understand about fair play, level playing fields,
not-for-profit and plain old simple problems that community radio is
encountering ?       beats me?!

Nick

BCAP consultation on post-conception advice services

The Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (BCAP) has announced a
<http://cap.msgfocus.com/c/12yR8wG75PdBDxRv> public consultation on
proposals for the regulation of broadcast advertisements for post-conception
advice services (PCAS). 

 <http://cap.msgfocus.com/c/12yRynNJjYPillSj> 

This new  <http://cap.msgfocus.com/c/12yRLjmxr3D8HfSI> consultation document
clarifies the present rules and the proposed changes to those rules for the
broadcast advertising of PCAS. 

Originally consulted on in March 2009 as part of the full public
consultation on the Advertising Codes, BCAP's proposed change to the rules
surrounding PCAS generated a significant number of responses. In light of
those responses, BCAP decided to consider the issues relating to PCAS
separately.

Most respondents to the 2009 consultation appear to have misunderstood what
was being proposed, believing that an outright ban on the advertising of all
PCAS in broadcast media was being lifted. Holding this further consultation
ensures respondents are able to comment on the proposals in a fully informed
way.

You are particularly encouraged to respond to this statement if:

. your views are not reflected in the Background Information document or; 
. you did not respond to the original proposal and you have, or the
organisation you represent has, interests which are particularly relevant to
the proposal under consideration. 

Written responses to this  <http://cap.msgfocus.com/c/12yRYeVly8qZ39T7>
consultation should be received by no later than close of business on 8
August 2011.
