The mental health impact of harmful online content is now the no.1 concern for parents. That’s why we’ve joined with @mollyroseorg, NSPCC and other orgs to call for the standards used to classify films for UK cinema release to be extended to social media platforms. Watch ⬇

New BBFC research shows UK parents are now twice as concerned about the mental health impact of harmful online content (55%) than their child’s physical health & nutrition (27%). Online safety is now the #1 parental concern, outranking bullying (40%) and grades (36%).
