The BBFC is a non-profit organization that was established in 1912 by the film industry to classify films nationally using uniform guidelines. Films seeking theatrical release are typically classified by at least two BBFC examiners who view the entire film and write a report recommending a classification based on the BBFC's published guidelines. The BBFC examiners come from various backgrounds and analyze whether a film's content is legal under UK law, seeking external advice if needed. They aim to classify films in a way that informs consumers and protects children from unsuitable or harmful content.

This document elucidates what classification refers to as well as the importance and reason behind it. It also tells you about their specific 'Guidelines' and what they consider when classifying movies. Furthermore, the last thing it includes is a simple and short explanation of each age rating with their signs.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. The BBFC is a non-profit organisation; this means it does not
receive subsidies from either the film industry or the government.
It solely dependant on the fees it charges for its service. The
BBFC was set up in 1912 by the film industry to bring about
uniformity to the classification of film nationally.
Films that are going to be theatrically released normally need to
be classified by at least 2 examiners from the BBFC using the
published guidelines. And in most cases the decision is followed
up by the senior examiner.
The examiners view the films and write a detailed report on
them and recommend a category decision, cuts or other
actions. They also give talks about classification at educational
institutions, film festivals and other events. The examiners come
from various backgrounds such as teaching, journalism,
research, law and marketing etc. The senior examiners of BBFC
as of 2014 are Craig Lapper and Murray Perkins. The senior
examiners also undertake advice viewings, answer any enquires
from distributors and lead a team of Examiners.
The BBFC examiner analyse and make recommendations on
whether the film or video is legal. For instance scenes or films
that include animal cruelty, obscenity, racial hatred etc. will
need a more professional analysis. In this case the BBFC may
seek external expert advice. Therefore if the content of the film
is against the UK law then the film will be rejected and denied
certificate to view in the UK and cinemas.
3. History of BBFC
Since statutory power on films still remain with the local
councils-this may cause any of the BBFC’s decisions to
be over ruled. However from mid 1920s it has become
general practice for local authorities to accept the
decisions of the BBFC.
4. How is the certificate of a film
decided?
It is decided or awarded by the ‘British Board of Film
Classification. (BBFC)
This is placed in order to protect children from unsuitable and
even harmful content in films and videos.
It gives the consumers information about the film and video
before deciding whether or not to watch it.
The BBFC watches the whole film and video all the way
through and awards an age rating and insight to each one.
The reach an age rating by applying the standards and
criteria contained in their classification guidelines.
These classifications consider issues such as discrimination,
drugs, horror, explicit language, nudity, sex, violence and
dangerous and easily imitable behaviour (e.g. jumping off a
building to fly) before making decisions.
6. The proportion of
work suitable for solo
viewing are TV series
episodes aimed
towards young
children.
There are daily viewings of videos and films
by the Examiners. They normally view a
DVD submission on their own (solo viewing)
and films are views in two’s. And if the work
is extreme reality material then it will be
viewed as a group. This is gather various
opinions of what certification to give.
The examiners watch films for cinema
release in the BBFC’s cinema, this is done in
order to reproduce the effect that sound
levels and special effects have on cinema
audience.
DVDs are viewed in BBFC’s viewing rooms
which has plasma screens to recreate the
‘home viewing’ experience.
(These are done in order to create an
accurate certification for the content)
With each work e.g. each film, TV episode
they watch the examiners have to log the
details of what they watched. These
include the general context e.g. plot,
characters, outline of individual scenes.
The timings of key moments, including
camera angles, type of shots, on-and-off
screen moments. And last is bad
language, sex and drug references and so
on.
They also have to write reports on the
material they viewed. In the report they
should write a brief synopsis of the
film/DVD/episode etc. And also details of
arguments in support of the
recommended age rating. Most of the
recommended age rating decisions will be
based on the BBFC’s published guidelines
(last revised in 2009).
The distributor can request a specific age
rating, thus if necessary cuts may be
suggested to meet the category request.
A certain work can be referred for further
viewing by a team if an examiner is unsure
about an issue or theme.
With videos or films that have controversial
material, it can be referred to the weekly
Examiners’ meeting where they can
debate about the word and it’s possible
age rating. But ultimately the work will be
referred to senior management
If the film/video/episode contains
material which is illegal or
unacceptable under the BBFC’s
guidelines, Examiners will draw up a
list of the cuts, this will be sent to the
distributor. If a film or episode on it’s
own is unacceptable it can be
rejected, but this happens only on
rare occasions.
7. The guidelines are the basis of all rating decisions done. it is available for
the public and the industry to view.
The new classification of the BBFC guidelines is viewed by over 8,700
people across the UK from the age of 16 upwards to form the basis for
the latest set of classification Guidelines (2009)
The guidelines are BBFC’s Classification standards which are in line with
what the public expects and that its decision take account of what the
public finds acceptable at each age category e.g. 12, 15, 18
The guideline is changed every 4-5 years. This is done through major
public consultation exercise to find out what the public thinks about the
age rating of film and videos. This is so that the BBFC’s is kept up to date
with public concerns and attitudes.
There are 2 important principles in the guidelines:
1. To protect children and vulnerable adults from potentially harmful or
otherwise unsuitable content
2. To empower consumers, particularly parents and those with
responsibility for children, to make informed viewing decisions.

13. Star trek into Darkness
12 :
Sci-fi films Why?
Star trek into Darkness (2013)
12 : It contains moderate
violence and threat.
There is violence due to the battle scenes, however this film is not as gory as ‘Elysium’ was, there is less
blood and there is not as many deaths. Furthermore less serious cursing words are used.
Ex-Machina (2015)
15: due to strong language,
bloody violence and sex
references.
There are some intimate scenes in the film. There is use of serious cursing words. Characters can be
seen drinking. There is a scene where a man cuts his arm, the scene is quite graphic, as well as this
there is a scene where the robot peels of her skin. So for this reasons the BBFC could have given the
film a 15 certification.
Elysium (2013)
15: It contains strong language,
bloody violence and gory
images.
There is a battle between several robotic droids and some of the main characters. There is use of
grenades to explode ships. As well as this a man gets shot in chest by gunfire. Blood is visible. Almost
all the death scenes in the film is very bloody and graphic. Therefore this maybe too disturbing for
audiences younger than 15 to watch.
Back to the Future (1985)
PG: Contains mild language and
violence.
There is a character in the film called Biff who is violent, aggressive and bullies/threathens. There are
scenes where there conflict with this character but the conflicts don’t result in blood or gory scenes.
This might be slightly disturbing to young viewers therefore parental guidance is needed. There are
some scenes where characters can be seen drinking and driving.
Interstellar (2014)
12A: Infrequent strong language,
moderate threat, violence
PG-13 in American classification
system
There are death scenes, however there is not gory imagery. Most of the time death is implied
although there is one scene where a character’s helmet cracks and he is seen to be suffocating but
he is ultimately saved. There are two men drinking beer, and also there are some very intense,
difficult and emotional scenes, which might be the reason why the film was given a PG-13.
DREDD (2012)
18: It contains frequent strong
bloody
There is a lot of violence and gore, for example there is a scene where men are beaten until blood is
visible. There are uses of knife, guns, grenade and blood. There is also intimate scenes with images of
intimate human parts. In addition the plot revolves around fictional drug and there is one very
disturbing scene of eyes being gouged out. Overall the tone and mood of the film is very dark and
gritty.
Jurassic world (2015)
12A: moderate threat,
occasional gory moments,
action violence
PG-13 in American classification
system.
There are some violent scenes such as dinosaurs eating man, there are also moments were blood is
shown e.g. wounds on legs and head. The language is mild, with no serious cursing word being used.
There are several jump scares, it more graphic than the other Jurassic park movies which might be
the reason why the film got a PG-13.
