We have all seen age rating guidance, whether that be for films, TV shows, social media platforms or games.  On the face of it, they provide a simple way for parents and carer's to make a choice about the suitability of a product, content or platform for their child. However, different age ratings are applied in different places, and ratings do not always take account of everything a parent might want to consider when deciding wgether a platform or piece of content is suitable for their child.  ParentZone has produced a guide to age ratings which will help both parents and children to understand how they can use age ratings to make informed choices.
