Welcome to the all new sbbfc! If you've got this far, you'll have a good idea as to what this site is all about. We're hoping that it will become an essential resource for teachers and students across the UK who are covering the topics of UK Film & DVD Classification, Video Game production, the British Media and Media Regulation and Censorship. We hope it also provides useful background for those studying media more broadly.

The site is split into two sections, one aimed at students the other at teachers. The latter is designed to give you immediate access to the wealth of information on the site. Both students and teachers can use the site’s clipboard facility to store relevant information for their studies.

We’ve grouped the information using tabs at the top of the page, whilst increasing opportunities to browse the content too. You can sift through the Case Studies by issue or genre for example.

The site still includes articles written by BBFC staff, Case Studies on films (including all relevant set film texts for Film Studies), BBFC news releases, guidelines and research documents to download, regular podcasts about classification issues, Time Lines and detailed histories of the Board and UK regulation and law, an online seminar. There is also an extensive Student Guide detailing famous decisions, key films and socio-historical commentary on the Board and its history. We are hoping to add clip based activities to the site soon.

In addition you can use the site to request a speaker from the BBFC comes to your school, to book places at BBFC and other Media Education events, to contact the BBFC, to organise interviews with BBFC staff for students doing presentations or dissertations and to request or buy our resources including a free classroom poster and our extensive Educational Resource Behind The Scenes At The BBFC which is available to buy below. This is a DVD Resource including clips, documentaries and activities based on censorship and regulation.

A crucial factor in helping to make the new site a success feedback. We not only want to know what you think of the site but welcome any suggestions for content or other comments. Please feel free to contact us with your thoughts.
