With the release of the independent review, Letting Children be Children, by Reg Bailey of the Mothers' Union, this timely seminar brought together representatives from across retail, parent and consumer groups, education providers and the media in an impartial setting to discuss the next steps for policy and best practice.
The event offered an opportunity to discuss the Bailey Review's recommendations, with sessions examining the prospects for a voluntary retail code of good practice, the next steps for child internet safety, including empowering parents to block adult and age-restricted services, and the options for strengthening the ASA to protect young people from excessive commercialisation. Delegates also examined the lessons learned and the unintended consequences 5 years on from the ban on the marketing to children of food high in fat, salt and sugar.
