Mild. Occasional coarse language and swearing appear — a handful of 's' and 'd' words, one audible use of 'Christ' in anger, and an interrupted/cut-off 'f' word; profanity is infrequent and non-sexual in tone.

Moderate and recurring.

Scenes include angry victims confronting administrators, parents and children affected by loss, and the emotional toll on staff who handle claims — these moments are earnest and sometimes intense but non-graphic.
