Can a school show videos of a particular category to children below that age?

The Board would not recommend it as the classification decision indicates that the film contains material which is unsuitable for children younger than the age specified. But there are some marginal cases where it might be considered appropriate to show a film in an educational context where it is properly discussed and presented. Clearly schools should seek parental consent prior to the screening. It is also important to make sure that any children watching are not likely to suffer any ill effects as a result of seeing the film. We would also recommend obtaining the approval of the Headteacher and Governors.
