The BBFC is a non-governmental organization in charge of classifying and censoring films, DVDs, and video games for British audiences. They assign ratings based on how issues like discrimination, drugs, sex/nudity, offensive language, and violence are portrayed. In some cases, they may give lower ratings if the portrayal of these issues has contextual justification. Their mission is to protect the public, especially children, from harmful content, empower viewers to make informed choices, recognize adult freedom of choice within the law, and respond to changing social attitudes through consultation and research.

BBFC Research
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is an independent body funded by the film industry that is responsible for classifying films, videos, DVDs, and some video games shown in the UK. Films are usually classified by at least two examiners using published guidelines, with a senior examiner ratifying most decisions. The BBFC aims to protect the public, especially children, from harmful content while also recognizing adult freedom of choice and empowering viewers to make informed choices. A 15-rated film may contain violence, strong language, and depictions of sexual activity, but not gory scenes or especially strong references to sex.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is a non-governmental organization funded by the film industry that is responsible for the national classification and censorship of films and some video games in the UK based on their suitability for different age groups. The Video Standards Council (VSC) was set up in 1989 to create a code of practice for the UK video industry and is responsible for age ratings of video games in the UK. The Office of Communications (Ofcom) is the government-approved regulatory authority for broadcasting, telecommunications, and postal industries in the UK and has a duty to represent consumers by promoting competition and protecting the public from harmful or offensive material.

They consider issues like discrimination, drugs, horror, violence, language, nudity and sex when deciding ratings. Context and impact on the audience are also factors. The BBFC conducts public consultations every 4-5 years to ensure standards meet public expectations and adjusts guidelines accordingly.

In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
