Classifications Guidelines (PG)

Parental Guidence.

General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children:

Any child can watch this film even if they are not accompanied by an adult. A 'PG' film should not upset a child under the age of 7/8, but if the parent thinks it will upset them then they are advised to watch it with them.

Discrimination:

Discriminatory language or behaviour is not acceptable unless clearly disapproved of or in an educational or historical context. Discrimination by a character with which children can readily identify is not acceptable.

Drugs:

References to the use of drugs must carry a suitable anti-drug message to the youngsters.

Horror:

Frightening sequences should not be intense. Fantasy settings may be a mitigating factor.

Imitable behaviour:

No detail of dangerous behaviour that children are likely or want to copy. And not to show easy access of weapons.

Language:

Mild bad language only.

Nudity:

Natural nudity. No sexual context.

Sex:

Sexual activity may be implied, but should be discreet and infrequent.

Theme:

Where more serious issues are featured (for example, domestic violence) nothing in their treatment should condone unacceptable behaviour.

Violence:

Moderate violence with no detail included, should be allowed, if justified by its context (for example, history, comedy or fantasy).
