ESPD guidelines on the use of photographs during ESPD presentations

1. Published photographs - where these are used please ensure you put the reference of the paper on the same slide as the photograph. We would encourage speakers to use published photos as much as possible.
2. Internet photographs - where these are used please check the regulations for reuse for each picture and comply with the restrictions - for example the website may need to be referenced on the slide.
3. Speakers' own photographs - please make sure you have consent not only for face-to-face teaching but also for teaching online and in recordings.
