Certificate Guidlines PG.




PG Parental Guidance –General viewing, but somescenes may be unsuitablefor young childrenUnaccompanied children ofany age may watch. A ‘PG’film should not disturb a childaged around eight or older.However, parents are advisedto consider whether the contentmay upset younger or moresensitive children.

Discrimination
Discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly disapproved of or in an educational or historical context. Discrimination by a character with which children can readily identify is unlikely to be acceptable.

Drugs
References to illegal drugs or drug misuse must be innocuous or carry a suitable anti-drug message.

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

Imitable behaviour
No detail of potentially dangerous behaviour which young children are likely to copy. No glamorisation of realistic or easily accessible weapons.

Language
Mild bad language only.

Nudity
Natural nudity, with no sexual context.

Sex
Sexual activity may be implied, but should be discreet and infrequent. Mild sex references and
innuendo only.

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

Violence
Moderate violence, without detail, may be allowed, if justified by its context (for example, history, comedy or fantasy).
