part of the audience. Violence Guidelines: Will contain very little violence, either
physical or verbal or emotional. Will be sensitive to themes which could frighten a

and will show the consequences of the acts. Other Content Guidelines: There will
be no profanity, nudity or sexual content.

18+ (Adults) Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained
violence or extremely violent scenes. 16+ (Viewers 16 and over) Programming
is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains frequent scenes of
violence or intensely violent scenes.
13+ (Viewers 13 and over) Programming may not be suitable for children under
the age of 13. This program either contains several violent scenes or one or more
scenes that are violent enough to affect them. Viewing in the company of an
adult is therefore strongly recommended for children under the age of 13.
8+ (Viewers 8 and over) Not recommended for young children. This program
is suitable for most audiences, but it contains mild or occasional violence that
could upset young children. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore
recommended for young children (under the age of 8) who do not distinguish
between reality and imagination.
G (General Audience) This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It
contains no violence, or any violence that it does contain is either minimal or is
presented in a humorous manner, as a caricature, or in an unrealistic way.
