Reasons and Content Descriptors

Explanation

C and P programs are different from material produced for a family audience. They are designed specifically to meet children’s needs and interests. They deal with stories, concepts and ideas that are of interest to children and present them in a manner appropriate for the child audience (for example, from the child’s perspective or through the use of age-appropriate themes). The CTS specifies that a children’s program: is made specifically for children or groups of children; and is entertaining; and is well produced using sufficient resources to ensure a high standard of script, cast, direction, editing, shooting, sound and other production elements; and enhances a child's understanding and experience; and is appropriate for Australian children.
