Main Issues - Language

Language is one of the main concerns when it comes to classifying a film, the following have to be taken into account;
- Many people are offended by bad language and swearing
- This may include the use of expletives with a sexual, religious or racial association, offensive language about minority groups and commonly understood rude gestures
- It would be impossible to set out comprehensive lists of words, expressions or gestures which are acceptable at each category
- The advice at different classification levels provides a general guidance, taking account of the views expressed in public consultation exercises
