subject matter with appropriate warnings to audiences in
the case of gore or actual scenes of executions or of
people clearly being killed.
(ii) Imitable violence
Due consideration must be given to the fact that violence portrayed visually may be
imitated in real life. The presentation of dangerous behaviour, which is easily
imitated, must be justified, and ideally excluded.

Graphic representations of sexual violence, such as rape or attempted rape or other
non-consensual sex, or violent sexual behaviour are not allowed.
(iv) Violence and young, vulnerable audiences
The susceptibility of younger audiences, particularly those impressionable minds
must be considered.
