*This section contains all the ASA approved or safe content – to the best of our knowledge.

This section does not yet have many resources in it. We will be adding to it as we work through the animations and social media content with members who have had feedback from the ASA. Please be patient with us as this takes time and a lot of effort! We will keep adding to this section as we discover more about which of our other whiteboard animations are acceptable to them! And remember, for in-house marketing, inside your office, ALL of our resources are safe to use – because you are there to be able to discuss the limitations of the various studies we present!

Please note that you are responsible for your advertising at the end of the day. However, to make things as easy on you as we can, we have created this section to compile content that we are as sure as we can be is ‘safe’ for you to use in external marketing. This is either because we have heard back from members that these animations and social media content have been ‘approved’ by the ASA, or we are 99% sure they should be because they are about research regarding a condition we know we have ‘enough’ clinical evidence, according to the GCC and ASA guidelines.

Here are links to some of the GCC and ASA guidelines relevant to the UK:

I hope this assists your informed decision-making process and helps you operate in compliance with professional standards and advertising laws in the UK.

Sincerely,

Heidi Haavik
