This is a coincidence as we have been recently talking about this.  We
assumed that bought DVDs can't be lent to under age students but we
record a lot of things off TV.  Does anyone know about the law for these
as they don't officially have a certificate?  For example Gordon Ramsay
and 15/18 films that are recorded from TV - we have quite a lot of 14
year olds here.

Hi Sarah,

=20

My understanding of this based on the FACT website is that the law is
very clear re videos/DVDs and that it is an offence to knowingly supply
a video to someone under the legal viewing age and a fine of up to 20k
can be given if it is broken. =20

=20

I don't think parental permission comes into it either.=20

Apologies for cross-posting

=20

Dear all,=20

=20

Can I check with any of you who have under 18s who need to watch 18
certificate material what you do. It is our present policy to not allow
them to borrow the item.=20

=20

I want to be sure that we are correct in saying that we can't legally
lend this material to these students (regardless of the fact that they
might have a note signed by a parent to say that they can).

=20

Recently we have had a number of instances where under 18 students who
are on our media or A-level courses need to watch this material because
it is part of the course, we say no we can't lend it to them and then
they are disappointed that they can't take the item out. I would also
like to clarify the issue of 'watching the film' - if we set the student
up in the library to 'watch the film' are we breaking the law?

=20

(Can anyone tell me why the examining boards take it into their heads to
set 18 certificate films for an A-level course in the first place, when
the majority of students will be under this age, it seems quite potty to
me).

=20

Any help would be appreciated,=20
