Crown and Parliamentary Copyright, 19 March 2025 - 9:30am-1pm

Crown copyright subsists in material created by civil servants, ministers and government departments and agencies. Parliamentary copyright applies to work made by or under the direction or control of the House of Commons or the House of Lords. This intermediate course explores how different rules apply to Crown and Parliamentary copyright works.

This course is for anyone involved in the acquisition, collections management, creation, commissioning, use and sharing of Crown and or Parliamentary copyright works.

"I thought the course was the right level, and covered the similarities and differences between Crown and Parliamentary Copyright. Naomi was, as ever, very generous with her knowledge and answering specific questions."
