Theme:
Mature themes are acceptable, but their treatment must be suitable for young teenagers.
Language:
The use of strong language (eg 'fuck') must be infrequent. Racist abuse is also of particular concern.
Nudity:
Nudity is allowed, but in a sexual context must be brief and discreet.
Sex:
Sexual activity may be implied. Sex references may reflect what is likely to be familiar to most adolescents but should not go beyond what is suitable for them.
Violence:
Violence must not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood. Sexual violence may only be implied or briefly and discreetly indicated.
Imitable techniques:
Dangerous techniques (eg combat, hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on imitable detail or appear pain or harm free. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.
Horror:
Sustained moderate threat and menace are permitted. Occasional gory moments only.
Drugs:
Any misuse of drugs must be infrequent and should not be glamorised or instructional.
