The BBFC has, for many years, seen the value of ensuring that younger film fans understand the process of classification and regulation. However, with the rapidly increasing availability of media such as films, DVDs and digital games there now clearly needs to be opportunities for younger age-groups to engage directly with the whole process of classification, allowing them to fully understood how the process works, why it is needed and as a means of developing their own critical skills and self-awareness in relation to such issues.

To this end, the BBFC has launched two educational websites in recent years - the cbbfc (Children's BBFC) site, aimed at primary school-aged children and their parents and teachers and this site, sbbfc - Students' BBFC, for Media and Film Studies students and teachers. In addition, the Board regulary hosts events, presentations and workshops for both age groups both at their offices in central London and throughout the UK. A full rundown of upcoming sbbfc events can be found here.
