Copyright Clearance for Print, Broadcast & Multimedia Production

Wednesday 12 November 2014, Central London

The BUFVC’s one-day course on copyright is essential for those needing to copy, use and provide access to existing third party content in their work, delivered by expert practitioners in the field.

Presented by Alma Hales, Head of Intellectual Property at the Open University and Bernadette Attwell, former Deputy Head of Intellectual Property at the Open University, this course includes up-to-date practical advice and guidance, with the opportunity to have specific rights-related queries answered.

Many changes to the Copyright Act came into effect this year, as part of the long-awaited outcomes of the 2011 Hargreaves Review.  Find out from expert practitioners in the field how these changes are affecting your institution on our one-day course.

Attendees will gain an understanding of:

• types of work which are protected
• rights ownership and licensing
• the status of copyright exceptions
• the meaning of ‘fair dealing’
• the process of rights clearance.

Attendees will also take away a free copy of our ever-useful booklet – ‘Can I Copy This? A Brief Guide to UK Copyright in Higher and Further Education‘. It provides a focused and accessible guide to media and copyright in UK HE and FE. Find out more here.
