Finally, this review of good practice in the area of advertising does
lead to the question: When did you last read SPA’s advertising
policy and review the advertising that you are using to ensure your
advertising is appropriate and ethical?
If the coming holiday period is a slow time of year for you it may
be a good opportunity to use the checklist below to audit your
advertising and make any changes required to bring it in line with
the policy.
My advertising is accurate and does not misrepresent the
profession.
I do not guarantee results.
When I advertise the benefits or outcomes of a program it is
based on evidence.
My advertising contains the accurate wording and/or post-
nominal for my SPA membership and CPSP status, and for
each of my staff.
I have used the approved SPA logo (which I obtained, with
permission, from SPA), or does not contain the approved
SPA logo because not all of my staff are SPA members.
I do not use testimonials in any of my advertising.
My advertising does not include the terms “expert” or
“specialist” unless I have achieved recognised accreditation
(available internationally, there are no recognised formal
credentialing programs in Australia).
For any support in the application of SPA’s policy to your
advertising, please contact me at National Office.
