If you would like to make use of our online resources beyond reading them on the site, please read the answers to these frequently asked questions. Each publication made available online should state whether it is a ‘booklet’ or a ‘factsheet’. This will determine its copyright status, as explained in the answers below.
Individuals may print a single copy of the text version of any Mind information booklet from Mind's website for their own personal use. It is also fine for organisations to refer individuals to the booklets on Mind's website.
However, organisations may not print off copies for distribution to clients. The only exceptions to this are translated versions of booklets - see point (g) below, and where a booklet has gone out of print and is only available to view on the website. If the latter is the case, a copyright note will explain this at the top of the individual publication.
Any organisation wishing to distribute Mind's publications to clients must purchase copies from Mind Publications, or contact Mind's Sales and Marketing Manager, Mark Leach (contact details below), to explore other options. The reason for this policy is that Mind's Information service is funded largely by sales of the publications we produce, and without this income we would not be able to continue this work.
Photocopying of Mind's booklets is not permitted.
However, if in exceptional circumstances any organisation wishes to photocopy Mind's publications they should contact Mark Leach or Maria Jacovides (contact details below), who will consider whether an exception can be made, or explore whether a priority order could be processed for the organisation.
Both individuals and organisations are welcome to print and photocopy any complete factsheet from the 'Information and advice' section of Mind's website. Organisations are free to distribute them to service users and colleagues, but must ensure they always use the latest version of the factsheet, as on the website, at the time of distribution, and ensure that Mind's authorship is acknowledged.
If you want to use articles from Openmind for any purpose, for example in your own publications, or on a website, you must seek permission from Johnny Bird, Marketing and Customer Service Officer (contact details below). A fee may be charged.
Mind is generally happy for organisations to display cover images, but any organisation wishing to do this should seek permission from Mark Leach or Maria Jacovides before uploading or printing the images.
Where cover images are displayed we would expect a referral to Mind's Publications service or website.
You are welcome to link to any page on Mind's website. If you have any questions about this please contact Mind's Webmaster (contact details below).
The translated versions of Mind's booklets that are available online can be freely printed by both individuals and organisations.
Audio translations cannot be copied.
