Re-use of Public Sector Information Policy

We are open and transparent, and treat all applications to re-use in a fair and non-discriminatory way.

Here are details of how we meet our re-use responsibilities:

• We are a delegated authority to handle Crown Copyright materials.
• Our Copyright guidance explains how we allow content to be re-used.
• Requests for re-use will receive a response within 20 working days, and complaints will follow the Museum’s Complaints Policy and Procedure.
