The BBFC: General Principles

Two guiding principles:

  • Works should be allowed to reach the widest audience appropriate for their theme and treatment.
  • Adults should, as far as possible, be free to choose what they see, provided that it remains within the law.

When applying these guiding principles, they also consider:

  • If the material is in conflict with the law, or created through the commission of a criminal offence.
  • If the material may cause harm to the category concerned, any viewer or wider society as a result of its viewing.
  • If public opinion clearly deems it inappropriate for the age group concerned to be viewing the content in question.
