Copyright and Licencing update for schools

The images have been found by a copyright compliance company who use software to scan the internet for imagery where a licence or permission has not been sought. Schools receive a letter from the copyright compliance company requesting money for the use of images.

Schools should ensure that images are not just copied from websites and that the licence or permission to use the image has been obtained.
