Can anyone offer any advice on lending 18 certificate videos to under
18's.
Since we have moved our video collection we have become increasingly
aware of our under 18 students wishing to view or borrow material which
may have an 18 certificate, either pre-recorded films or off-air
recordings made under the ERA licence.
Can anyone out there give advice on our legal position, are we breaking
the law if we lend them or let them view the material in the library? I
am anxious that we are clear about our position.
Also what happens if someone is required to view a video as part of
their course which has an 18 certificate and they are under 18?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you
