Certificate change

We previously had our film at a PG, but because of the narrative change we now have decided at a
12A.
I did some research because there was debate about a couple of aspects in the content for example, there is just one instance of strong language "fuck" and sex is only implied. Therefore, a decision had to be made about whether it was a 12A, 12 or 15.

The official BBFC website was useful because it gives in specifics the guidelines for each certificate. I initially looked at a 15 but it said there could be 'frequent use of strong language' and 'sexual activity can be portrayed, as long as there is no strong or graphic detail.' However, our film doesn't have such content therefore I decided to look at younger certificates. The 12A decision was made as opposed to a 12 because then the adult can decide whether or not they will allow their child to watch it.
