Copyright and Volunteer Management, 9 December 2024 - 9:30am-1pm

The cultural heritage sector relies on volunteers. However, volunteers do not have the same legal status as employees in terms of copyright. This means that a good understanding of the legal rights and responsibilities around copyright is integral to managing volunteer roles.

This half day intermediate course will be suitable for anyone who is responsible for managing or supervising volunteers.
