Policy for re-use of information

Dstl follows the National Archives Re-use of public sector information policy and have adopted the Open Government Licence (OGL) v3.0 for licensing Dstl Crown copyright material cleared for use/re-use.

Charging policy

Pursuant to the Re-Use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015, documents supplied by Dstl as part of the MOD Public Task (see page 15 for relevant information) will be available for re-use unless they are excluded by virtue of exemptions in the 2015 Regulations.

If the requested material is within MODs public task then there will generally be no fee for re-use. However, if the requested material is fully outside MODs public task, additional charges will apply. Due to the varying nature of the material available for re-use, no standard fee structure is available. However please contact CrownCopyrightLicensing@dstl.gov.uk for details of any charges in relation to particular requests.

Complaints procedure

If you are not satisfied with the service you have received with respect to licensing of Crown copyright material, please get in touch with your regular Dstl contact and discuss your concerns with them. Alternatively, you could ask to speak to their manager. If, however, the problem has not been resolved or handled to your satisfaction, or you do not have a regular Dstl contact, you may wish to make a formal complaint.

To make a complaint, please write to:

Head of Intellectual Property

Finance, Planning and Governance Division
Dstl

If you remain dissatisfied with the response from Dstls Head of Intellectual Property, you are entitled to seek redress through MODs formal complaints procedure by writing to the Ministerial Correspondence Unit. Alternatively, you may wish to contact the Standards Division of the Office of Public Sector Information.
