The main BBFC website www.bbfc.co.uk is designed to keep the public and the industry informed about the work of the organisation. It includes up to the minute information about classification decisions; the policies and Guidelines used by the BBFC when classifying a work; how to submit a film, DVD or video game for classification; as well as general information about the BBFC.
There is a page for each work classified by the BBFC, giving details of the classification together with Consumer Advice (for most works classified since 1996) and Extended Classification Information (for most video games and cinema films classified since mid-2007). If a work has been cut, or subject to some other form of intervention as a condition of the classification awarded, this will be shown. Details of works refused classification (‘Rejects’) are also displayed.
The Parents BBFC website
www.pbbfc.co.uk provides parents with clear, concise, specially tailored information about films, video games and classification, helping them make informed choices about what is suitable for their children. This information includes the relevant Consumer Advice, a brief summary of the film or video game, and several paragraphs of Extended Consumer Advice. For cinema films, the site also offers the opportunity to watch the trailer and find out where the film is showing.
