The British Board of Film Classifications is a board that decides on the ratings of films and therefor they control who is allowed to watch the film. for example a film with the rating 12a means that;
- This film is suitable for those 12 and above.
- However, those younger then 12 are allowed to view the film but only if they are accompanied by an adult.
- Responsibility lies with the adult who is with the child and allowing the child to view the film.
- The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour
- Dangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide and self-harming) can be allowed provided the detail of such is low so that it can not create too much of an impression of the viewer. Abuse of weapons which are easily obtained will not be tolerated
- Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury.
- The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour.
