Media regulation in the UK is overseen by two main organizations: the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) which monitors content on television to ensure compliance with laws, and Ofcom which enforces regulations set by the ASA and handles complaints. The key regulations are outlined in the BCAP code which prohibits misleading, harmful, or explicit advertising, especially those targeting children. Recent examples include Red Bull being forced to change its "gives you wings" slogan for being misleading and an Aldi Easter bunny ad being banned for potentially endangering animal welfare.

Overview of UK Advertising Regulation
There are two categories of advertising in the UK: broadcast advertising, which includes TV and radio spots, and is co-regulated; and non-broadcast advertising, like print and online ads, which is self-regulated. Broadcast advertising must be cleared through organizations like Clearcast before airing to ensure it complies with standards, while non-broadcast advertisers must hold evidence to back their claims in case of complaints. Both are investigated by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and must be amended if complaints are upheld, aiming to balance consumer protection and industry responsibility.
Regulations
Regulation of advertising takes place through the ASA and OFCOM. The ASA reviews ads to ensure they are suitable and do not cause harm or offense, with rules around children, shock tactics, and unsafe practices. OFCOM is the communications regulator that ensures high quality TV and radio programming appealing to diverse tastes, while protecting viewers from harmful material. Both organizations investigate complaints and can ban ads found to breach their codes, such as a Durex condom ad deemed inappropriate for children to view.

Asa
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is the independent regulator of advertising across all media in the UK. They make sure ads stick to the Advertising Codes and take action against misleading, harmful or offensive ads. The ASA responds to complaints from the public and monitors ads, taking action which can include requiring ads to be amended or withdrawn. UK advertising is regulated through a system of self-regulation, where the industry writes the rules, and co-regulation for broadcast media, where the ASA regulates under Ofcom. The Advertising Codes apply universally and require ads to be legal, truthful, responsible and respect human dignity.

Audience Regulation
- 1. Regulation Media Regulation is the use of legal means to control media ownership and the content of media communications; which are split into two sections, ASA and Ofcom. ASA (Advertising standards authorities) observe to see what is allowed on television, this is so they make sure that certain programmes aren‟t breaking the regulated law. Ofcom (Of communications)- law enforcement, ASA suggests things to Ofcom, to enforce law. ASA have no real power. ASA and Ofcom target advertisements that breach or violate the enforced rules set, which are known as BCAP. BCAP (Broadcast committee of advertising practice) is a set of rules of things you can‟t do by law and voluntary rules, which are ethical and moral codes; which aren‟t allowed in advertisements. This is also known as the BCAP code. If ASA find something wrong with a specific advertisement they send a complaint to Ofcom; who after a while revise the situation and decide whether to take action or not. An Example of BCAP codes are misleading advertising, this is saying that a product or service does something that isn‟t true to sell it. This happened with Red Bull‟s previous slogan “Red Bull gives you wings”, which was misleading and potentially harmful to the consumer in case they thought they could fly after drinking it. In result of this Ofcom had to take action, this lead to Red Bull being sued and had to change their slogan to „Red Bull gives you wiiings”, which doesn‟t infer that you can fly after drinking red bull. Another BCAP rule comes under the category of “Children”, this rule states that if directing advertisements at children or featuring them, there can‟t be any unsafe practices and/or unfair pressure on them: this is using pester power and sales promotions for children. This rule was created because the fact that children can be easily manipulated by older people and misleading ads and things that put a lot of pressure on them. Another rule is based around pornographic images being displayed on advertisements; the rule restricts any type of R18-rated material being shown in advertisements. This is to stop children from seeing explicit images and it is also to prevent people from complaining about seeing nudity; people may complain about viewing nudity because it may give off the wrong impressions about certain products or services. An advert that has been banned recently is one of the Easter bunny Aldi series adverts, this advert was banned because it used real life baby bunnies in the advertisement.
