Policy and Classification Research
We do large-scale research projects to understand what matters to people from communities and age groups across the country. We ask people across the UK about what they think is and isn’t safe or helpful for young people’s wellbeing and healthy development.
Take a look at our expert research on industry, media regulation, policy, classification and attitudes to age ratings.
You can also download all our Classification Guidelines consultations and see how attitudes have shifted over the years.
