Individuals
If you are an individual and you direct your own support, or if you’re thinking about directing your support, you can use everything on the website for free. The same goes for a person’s supporters – for example, family members, friends, brokers, community members.
Local authorities
If you represent a local authority and you want to use materials to set up a system of Self-Directed Support or promote citizenship, you can only use them if your authority is a member of In Control. Information about membership is available from: admin@in-control.org.uk. Any use of the materials for the purposes of establishing a system of Self-Directed Support (or any aspect of it) if your authority is not a member of In Control will be considered as a breach of these copyright conditions.
Consultants, training organisations, service providers
If you represent a training or consultancy organisation or a service provider (or other similar organisation) to help statutory authorities or any independent organisation to set up a system of, or any aspect of, Self-Directed Support or Individual Budgets, you are only permitted to use In Control materials if you have an agreement with In Control. For more details, contact admin@in-control.org.uk. Any use of the materials for direct financial gain without an agreement with In Control, will be considered as a breach of these copyright conditions.
Academics and students
If you are an academic or student studying some aspect of Self-Directed Support, welfare reform or citizenship you can use In Control's materials as long as you fully credit In Control.
