BBFC - Guidelines
Therefore every 4-5 years, the BBFC carries out a major public consultation exercise to find out what the public thinks about the age rating of films and videos before they are released and whether the BBFC’s classification standards meet public concerns.
The BBFC adjusts its standards and criteria in response to any changes in public attitudes.
These standards are laid out in the BBFC’s Classification Guidelines which can be downloaded below. The Guidelines detail what is acceptable at each age category, from U to R18. They also set out the laws and principles which impact on the BBFC’s work.
There are two key principles, laid out in the Guidelines, under which we operate:
to protect children and vulnerable adults from potentially harmful or otherwise unsuitable content
to empower consumers, particularly parents and those with responsibility for children, to make informed viewing decisions.

Managing the costs of the communications
An increase in charges – or changes in the way you use your communications services – could make switching to a different deal more economical, though in some cases you may have to pay a charge for the rest of your current contract.
Landline, broadband and mobile
If a change in circumstances means you’re looking to cut back, there are ways you can save money without having to miss out on services.
The following guides explain how you can get the most from your landline, broadband and mobile deals while being kind to your pocket.

Types of home broadband
There are three main types of home broadband – ADSL, fibre and cable although not all are available everywhere.
ADSL – broadband over your phone line with speeds varying widely up to 14 or 16 Mb/s (megabits per second). Almost all homes in the UK are able to get ADSL broadband. They’re typically cheaper than cable and fibre deals which offer faster speeds.
Cable – broadband via cable, often supplied alongside TV. Speeds are faster than ADSL with different packages available offering speeds of up to 120 Mb/s.
Fibre – broadband delivered via fibre optic cable. Speeds are faster than ADSL delivering up to 76 Mb/s.
The copyright law is originated in the United Kingdom for a concept of common law. The law gives the creators of literary, dramatic, musical, artistic works, sound recording, broadcasts, films and typographical arguments of published editions, rights to control the way in which their material is used. Copyright is a legal concept by most governments, that grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights to its use and discrimination, usually for a limited time, with the intention of enabling the creator of intellectual wealth.
