A co-regulator was defined in the Leveson inquiry as:
Co-regulatory models typically provide more industry involvement than statutory regulation and can be particularly effective when there is widespread industry support for the objectives of regulation. They require periodic monitoring by a backstop body to ensure effectiveness and can require the backstop body to carry out enforcement activity.This means that there is still an Independent Regulator (The BBFC) but that has a 'backstop' - another organisation that can enforce regulation or issue controls.
