What is Advertising Certification?
Advertising Certification is a formal procedure by which the UK Federal Regulator for Complementary Therapies – The General Regulatory Council for Complementary Therapies (GRCCT) assesses and verifies advertising in the sector of Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Advertising which is seen to meet stringent industry and legal requirements of the profession and applicable UK law is issued with a GRCCT Unique Certification Mark. Certification is valid for a period of one year and is subject to random audit.
How is a website or online advertising assessed?
Each submission is considered by a panel composed of:
- Legal expertise
- Profession expertise (for each discipline appearing)
- Regulatory expertise
- Academic expertise (Research)
- Lay representation
