FAQs
What type of store should I visit?
You can visit any store local to you, including:
Large supermarkets
Local supermarkets
Pharmacies
Corner Shops
Discount Stores
Or any other shops that sell infant milks
Can I visit more than one store?
Yes, you can visit as many stores as you want to, however please complete a new survey for each store.
How do I know if there are any violations?
You won’t need to assess the display for violations of UK legislation or the WHO Code, just complete the survey questions to record what you have seen. There is space on the survey to give additional information if you want to tell us something else, or to upload a photo if you want to show us what you have seen. We will use the information that you provide to assess the scope and extent of violations.
Do I have to complete the survey in the store?
No, you can complete the survey at any time before 20th October 2020. Please ensure that you have collected all the information necessary from the store in order to complete the survey.
Do I need to upload a photo?
No, however you can if you want to. If you decide to take photos you can upload a maximum of 4 at the end of the survey.
I’m not able to help on 16th or 17th Oct but would like to be involved. What can I do?
You can still report anything you have seen at a different time or any other form of infant milk marketing and promotion by using our survey to report additional information.
