The 12A certificate means the person must be aged 12 or over and accompanied with an adult. An adult is considered 18 or over and must watch the film with the child, not just pay for a ticket. 12A replaced the 12 certificate in cinema, but not video.
This is the classification for 12A:
- Mature themes allowed, but it must be suitable for young teenagers.
- Strong language (eg 'f***') must be infrequent and racial abuse is also of particular concern.
- No nudity is allowed, but sexual context is allowed if it brief and discreet.
- Sex can be mentioned/implied and sexual references must be suitable.
- Violence must not be too heavy and injuries should not be emphasised. Sexual violence can be implied/indicated but only discreetly.
- Weapons should not be glamorised and self harming in any way should not appear “harm free”.
- Gory moments allowed but only very occasionally.
- Drug use must be shown only a few times and should not be glamorised.
- The film must not offend a person’s religion, colour, gender, sexuality or disability.
