Alcohol-Free Childhood Campaign
Created: 08/11/2024Alcohol Focus Scotland has joined forces with BMA Scotland, Children in Scotland, Scottish Families affected by Alcohol and Drugs (SFAD) and Scottish Health Action on Alcohol (SHAAP) in a mission to end the harmful impacts of alcohol marketing on children and young people in Scotland.
The Alcohol-Free Childhood campaign is supported by around 50 organisations and 80 MSPs across all parties, including First Minister John Swinney MSP.
The Scottish Government consulted on alcohol advertising and promotion in 2023. In September 2024, it announced an evidence review by Public Health Scotland to inform a second consultation on more specific proposals.
