The document describes film rating classifications in the UK. It explains that a 'U' rating means a film is suitable for all ages and should have a positive moral framework. A 'PG' rating means general viewing but some scenes may not be suitable for young children. The 12, 12A, 15, and 18 ratings specify the minimum age someone must be to view films or rent videos with those ratings, with 18 being for adults only and no one under 15 allowed to view a 15 rated film.
1. ‘U’ stands for UNIVERSAL ( can be viewed by all
age groups). ‘U’ films should be set within a
positive moral framework and should offer
reassuring counterbalances to any violence,
threat or horror.
2. PG stands for Parental Guidance. This means a
film is suitable for general viewing, but some
scenes may be unsuitable for younger children.
A PG film should not disturb a child aged around
eight or older. Parents should consider whether
the content might upset younger or more
sensitive children
3. The 12 certificate is just for videos, DVDs
and Blu-rays. 12A is for films at the cinema
only. 12A means that anyone aged 12 or
over can go and see the film
unaccompanied. The A stands for
'accompanied' and 'advisory'. Children
younger than 12 may see the film if they
are accompanied by an adult (e.g.
someone over the age of 18), who must
watch the film with them.
4. No-one under the age of 15 is allowed
to see a 15 film at the cinema or
buy/rent a ‘15’ rated DVD. 15 rated
works are not suitable for children
under 15 years of age.
5. Films rated 18 are for adults. No-one under the
age of 18 is allowed to see an 18 film at the
cinema or buy/rent an 18 rated DVD. No 18
rated works are suitable for children.
