HISTORY
The Front Page Campaign is a charity. It was founded by Amy King, who became concerned about the effects of sexually explicit displays on children and young people. A group was later founded in Plymouth by mum of two Meghan Fleet. The organisation has been set up to provide a united voice for all who agree with our aims, and it is independent of any religious or political group.
VISION
A society where citizens are free to go about their business without seeing pornographic displays. Responsible marketing by retailers and the publishing industry, to protect children and young people from harmful media.
VALUES
Retailers, publishers, distributors and government have a collective responsibility to protect children and young people from adult material they are not emotionally equipped to deal with. They should also show respect for citizens in their marketing practices. It is not appropriate for sexually graphic material to be on display to children and young people. Nor is it appropriate for sexually graphic publications to be on sale to children and young people, especially when these include advertising for adult services.
MISSION
We aim to protect children and young people from harmful printed media by:
- working towards having printed media with sexually graphic covers sold in bags from the top shelves
- working towards having printed media age-rated appropriately in terms of sexually graphic photography, sexualised language and themes of sexual violence
- raising public awareness and providing information
