The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), established in 1912, is a UK government agency responsible for age ratings on films and other video content. As a state-owned organization with around 50 employees and headquartered in the UK, the BBFC's primary role is to classify films and videos based on their content. By assigning age ratings, the BBFC aims to protect children and vulnerable individuals from potentially harmful material. Additionally, the BBFC offers advice and guidance to filmmakers and distributors to ensure compliance with the classification guidelines.
