Copyright warning and alert: Use only copyright-free content
We are currently addressing a potentially costly breach of copyright linked to a Branch publication, and would like to alert all to the need to avoid using images that even might bring that issue into play…
If you are unsure, ask Joanna Theobald at contact@ihbc.org.uk to find out more..

We are also looking at another accessible online ‘Branch Connection’ event, likely in the coming months, to help learning across Branches. If you have any thoughts or suggestions let myself, Fiona or Angharad know…
Other developments and feedback
These are just a few of the new developments we will highlight to all Branch Committees in future Bulletins, but of course our news service and linked publications will carry the most up-to-date information, so please do keep up to date using those.
