Regulations

Ofcom The office of telecommunications is a


government approved regulatory and
competition authority for the broadcasting,
telecommunications and postal industries in the
Uk. They say they ‘We also help to make sure
people across the UK are satisfied with what they
see and hear on TV and radio, and that
programmes reflect the audiences they serve. We consider every complaint we
receive from viewers and listeners. Often, we investigate further and we
sometimes find broadcasters in breach of our rules.’

Ofcom takes complaints from viewers about shoes whether it be about the
content being inapproiate which is why they’ve put in curfews for certain shoes
so children will not see the monetized shows. They put this in place as people
felt certain programmes containing certain subjects or showing sensitive content
should be shown at certain times to avoid as many children seeing them as
possible.

They have a call centre for enquiries and complaints they also have a website
you can visit to find out possible topics. They use social media as a way to keep
people updated on current affairs in the media.

An example of this is in the winter love island one of the contestants is a ‘trophy
hunter’ this triggered people to complain as they felt he wasn’t worthy of tv time
as it promotes the wrong message, and has offended many people. As a result of
this it has been speculated he got asked to leave the show but they covered it up
by saying he left for his ex.

The bbfc (British Board of Film Classification) is


charge of rating films and shows for specific age
group, to what they deem acceptable.’ The
British Board of Film Classification, is a non-
governmental organisation, founded by the film
industry in 1912 and responsible for the national
classification and censorship of films exhibited at cinemas and video works
released on physical media within the United Kingdom’

They split the ratings into 6 different catorgories being – U, PG, 12A, 12, 15, 18
U - A U film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over, although
it is impossible to predict what might upset any particular child.

U films should be set within a positive framework and should offer reassuring
counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror. If a work is particularly
suitable for pre-school children, this will be indicated in the ratings info.
PG - General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. A
PG film should not unsettle a child aged around eight or older. Unaccompanied
children of any age may watch, but parents are advised to consider whether the
content may upset younger, or more sensitive, children.
12A/12 - Films classified 12A and video works classified 12 contain material that
is not generally suitable for children aged under 12. No one younger than 12
may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Adults planning
to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is
suitable for that child. To help them decide, we recommend that they check the
Ratings info for that film in advance. No one younger than 12 may rent or buy a
12 rated video work.
15 - No one younger than 15 may see a 15 film in a cinema. No one younger
than 15 may rent or buy a 15 rated video work.
18 - No one younger than 18 may see an 18 film in a cinema. No one younger
than 18 may rent or buy an 18 rated video work. Adults should be free to choose
their own entertainment.

These are mainly seen on films as they have to declare the age restrictions
before you enter how ever they can be used on tv shows as most shows after
9pm are advised 15+ anyways. However these are also done on music videos;
especially videos such as Blurred lines s this contains explicit images and the
word play is also very explicit. But with exception to some British artists are
signed to US labels and their videos aren’t sent to them for classifying.

The advertising standards authority


regulate adverts, sales promotions and
direct marketing in the UK so they don’t
mislead consumers they are self-
regulatory.
Areas that are complained in are: Tv and radio, Ads on smart phones and tablets,
press Ads and all sorts of adverts on screen and off screen.
An example of where ASA have taken charge is in a KFC advert in the UK in
which a chicken was raping and dancing to a song. This was seen to be
disrespectful to chickens and distressing for vegans, vegetarians and children as
it showed a chicken going to a slaughter house.
An advert that was banned in the Uk was a series of ads by Dove in which they
went round getting opinions and comments on breast feeding in public. The
language used was frowned upon as there was such comments as ‘Put them
away’ which could encourage the criticism of public breast feeding.
