British Board of Film Classification

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is an organization responsible for classifying films, videos, and some video games in the UK. It assesses the content for themes, language, violence, and sexual content to provide age ratings, such as U (Universal), PG (Parental Guidance), 12A, 15, and 18. These ratings help viewers make informed choices about what is suitable for themselves and their families. The BBFC aims to protect audiences, particularly children, while respecting artistic freedom. It operates independently and works in partnership with filmmakers, distributors, and the public to uphold consistent classification standards.
