Consumer advice - or why a film or video has received a particular classification

The Board, in conjunction with the film and video industry, has introduced a scheme of providing consumer advice for both media. In the case of video the advice appears on the back of the video packaging and spine of the video cassette and gives a brief summary of the issues which determined the category. The advice for cinema films is offered for display on film posters, in listings and for use by telephone listing hotlines.
