Teacher/Parent Information
cbbfc.co.uk has been designed to give older primary school children a clearer understanding of film classification in the UK. This site should enable them to find out how and why films, videos and DVDs are classified in a fun and informative manner. Whilst the site has been specifically created with 8-12 year olds in mind, we think there's still plenty on the site for younger chldren to enjoy.
As well as providing general information about the way in which the British Board of Film Classification operates, there are a number of activities with which children can get involved, either interactively on the site or by downloading/printing worksheets. There is also a regular competition for them to enter. We aim to update all of these every few weeks as well as develop other aspects of the site. FEEDBACK is very important to us, so please do not hesitate to let us know how well the site is or is not working for you!
Technical Stuff: The site works best with PCs connected to a Broadband (or higher) connection, although everything will still function very adequately on a 56K modem - just allow more time when downloading clips in the "Classify a Clip" section and other files. Viewing clips currently requires installation of the latest version of the Adobe/Macromedia Flash player, but do not worry, you will be prompted to download it if you do not have it installed. If you do experience any technical problems with the site, please do let us know and we will do our best to help you out.
