Monitoring the baby food industry

Baby Milk Action is offering an online course on monitoring the baby food industry. 

The first module is now available to members of Baby Milk Action. If you are registered as a member with the site and logged in, you will see a link under the courses menu saying Module 1. Click on the link to begin the course.

If you belong to an organisation (such as IFIT) that has arranged for you to do the course, register in the same way as a Baby Milk Action member, but specify the name of your organisation when you contact us to upgrade your registration.

The course will consist of 8 modules based on the training the International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN) gives to member organisations around the world. These have been tailored to the situation in the UK and include information on the narrower UK marketing legislation.

Each module consists of short filmed talks, quizzes, reading, a powerpoint presentation and an exercise. Participants have access to the tutor via the online discussion forum and will be able to book a personal tutorial by phone or skype during the course. The course culminates in a guided monitoring exercise to receive a Baby Milk Action certificate as a Code Monitor.

There will be a small charge for each module. Members of Baby Milk Action can do the first two modules free of charge. If you have registered with the site as a member, we will contact you as each module becomes available over the coming months. The course will be made available for non-members in the future.

If you are a member of Baby Milk Action or an organisation that has arranged for you to do the course, then you can set up your registration with this site now to access the first module. Click here for details.

Membership of Baby Milk Action starts at just £7.00. To find out more, click here.
