Classification Guidelines

The British Board of Film Classification
The BBFC published a new set of Classification Guidelines for film and video in September 2000. These Guidelines are based on extensive research and public opinion testing carried out over a six month period at the end of 1999/beginning of 2000. This included ten public presentations around the UK, a nationwide survey of almost 1400 people, a website questionnaire and two Citizens' Juries where draft Guidelines were submitted to one of the most rigorous scrutinies of any regulators Guidelines. A summary of that research entitled Sense & Sensibilities and copies of the Guidelines are available from the BBFC by post, or can be downloaded from the BBFC's website by clicking here.
