Schools Copyright Licenses

Each year your school may need to subscribe to a number of copyright organisations. Details of these are given below. An at a glance guide is also available from the Licensing Copyright website.

Licences Arranged by Torbay Council on Behalf of Schools

Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA)

The CLA licence covers schools for photocopying books, documents etc.  Schools must buy from a CLA-approved agent. Torbay continues to operate an LEA scheme.  Further information is available from the schools section of the CLA website.

Education Recording Agency (ERA)

The ERA Licensing Scheme permits staff at educational establishments to record, for non-commercial educational purposes, broadcast output of ERA's Members. A licence is required if recordings are to be used as a teaching resource. Torbay continues to operate an LEA scheme.  Further information is available from the schools section of the ERA website.

Copyright on Ordnance Survey Maps

LEA funded, aided or financially supported schools are regarded as departments of their local authority and are covered by the copyright licence held by the local authority with Ordnance Survey.  Among other things, this enables LEA schools to:

  • acquire digital mapping supplied to any local authority by Ordnance Survey under their Service Level Agreement.
  • use digital data acquired in a computer system.
  • include a location map in a prospectus or magazine sold or distributed outside the school.

Maps for publication on the Internet require advance permission and a licence.

Further details about copyright can be obtained from the Ordnance Survey website or by contacting the Ordnance Survey Local Authority Copyright Team (contact details can be found on their website).
