Your audience

If your presentation or training is viewable only by individuals and groups covered by the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) licence for the NHS England, then the following are available to you.

• Materials from publications that the NHS owns or subscribes to which are covered by the NHS CLA Licence. This includes most items with International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) or International Standard Serial Number (ISSNs). If in doubt use the CLA Check Permissions, and select "public sector" in the dropdown.
• Materials purchased or licenced from a publisher or copyright holder who has given their permission in the usage licence, or otherwise in writing. Note that obtaining written permission may incur a fee.
• Materials which have been deliberately placed in the public domain or released under a Creative Commons licence or the Open Government Licence (OGL).
• Very small excerpts from other copyright works where the purpose of including it in your presentation or training is for the “fair dealing” purpose of criticism or review.
• Original materials you have created.

In all cases:

• you should always acknowledge the source of all copyright materials you use
• materials containing copyright content may not be made publicly available on the internet, but it is allowed for them to be on a password protected or IP-locked intranet site for internal use
• copyright content included in presentations or training may not be altered, unless for refactoring into an accessible format for print disabled, or where a Creative Commons licence specifically permits this

If your presentation or training will generate income, then it is commercial. Neither the CLA Licence nor the principle of “fair dealing” allow use of copyright materials for commercial purposes. This means that you may only use the following kinds of materials.

• Materials purchased or licenced from a publisher or copyright holder who has given their permission for their use for commercial purposes, either in the usage licence or otherwise in writing. Obtaining written permission may incur a fee.
• Materials placed in the public domain or released under one of the types of Creative Commons licence which covers commercial usage, or the Open Government Licence.
• Original materials you have created.

If your training or presentation will be viewable without restriction, such as an event which is open for anyone to attend or a video made available on the public internet, then neither the CLA Licence nor the principle of “fair dealing” apply. You may only use the following kinds of materials.

• Materials purchased or licenced from a publisher or copyright holder who has given their permission for their use for public display, either in the usage licence or otherwise in writing. Obtaining written permission may incur a fee.
• Materials placed in the public domain, or released under a Creative Commons licence, or the Open Government Licence, subject to the terms of those licences.
• Original materials you have created.
