Independent and not-for-profit, the BBFC is here to help everyone in
the UK – especially children and families – choose age-appropriate
films, videos and websites, wherever and however they watch or use
them. With over 100 years’ experience, we regularly consult people
across the UK to listen to what they say, think and feel about what’s
appropriate for children of all ages to watch. And the services we
offer are continually evolving. Now, as well as classifying films released
in UK cinemas and on DVD and Blu-ray, we’re providing age-ratings
for Video On Demand and music videos online, and helping mobile
phone operators set parental controls at the right level. We’re also
setting the standards for how the adult industry will age-verify people
accessing online pornography, helping give children protection
online as well as offline, and continuing to help everyone – children,
families and adults – choose well.
