The British Board of Film Classification. "The BBFC is a trusted guide to media content. Working as an independent, self-financing and not-for-profit media content regulator, the BBFC operates transparent, consistent and trusted co-regulatory and self-regulatory classification and labelling systems in the UK." They watch films and videos all the way through and award an age rating and insight to each one. They reach an age rating by applying the standards and criteria contained in their Classification Guidelines.
What they aim to do:
The BBFC aims to protect the public, especially children, from content which might raise risks such as graphic violence. They also try to empower the public, especially parents, to make informed viewing choices and recognise and respect adult freedom of choice within the law. They try to respond to and reflect changing social attitudes towards media content through proactive public consultation and research. The BBFC also provides a cost-effective, efficient classification service within our statutory remit. They aim to work in partnership with the industry to develop innovative service models to provide content advice which support emerging media delivery systems as well as providing an effective service to enforcement agencies.
