Main Issues - Discrimination

Discrimination is one of the main concerns when it comes to classifying a film, the following have to be taken into account;
- Potentially offensive content, relating to such matters as race, gender, religion, disability or sexuality
- The classification decision will take account of the strength or impact of its inclusion
- The context of the content also has a bearing on the classification
- If the inclusion of the content is implicitly or explicitly criticised, the film may receive a less restrictive category
- If the work as a whole seeks to challenge such attitudes or obviously dated the film also may receive a less restrictive category
