These rules apply to the children and young people’s drawing, piece of writing, photographs and/or video recording that you want to submit for The SPOTLIGHT Survey – BBC Children in Need (we refer to these as “creative content”).

We will use the creative content for an internal report for staff at BBC Children in Need which is prepared by Revealing Reality.  If your creative content doesn’t contain any personal data (for example, posters or drawings) we may also include the creative content in a public report.  If it does contain personal data, we may contact you to ask for further permissions to use it externally.

Thank you so much for taking part – we can’t wait to see what you’ve created!

Your Privacy

If you’d like to know more about how any personal data you submit will be used, please take a look at the privacy notice.

3. What should the creative content look like?

3.1  Your SPOTLIGHT Survey Welcome Pack has all the information you need to know about what we’re looking for.  We’ve given you some examples but we want to hear from you and your group in your own words. We’d love you to be as creative as you can! Please contact [email protected]  if you need a new Welcome Pack sending to you.

3.2  We welcome children and young people featuring in the creative content but please try and limit the amount of personal data that could further identify the individuals, for examples full names or addresses.

3.3 Please make sure that the creative content does not contain anything that:

• is illegal or defamatory (damaging to someone else’s reputation)
• is inappropriate (offensive, off-topic or disruptive)
• contains spam
• breaks the BBC’s election or referendum rules
• puts children at risk
• infringes anyone’s rights (that includes privacy rights)
• promotes a business (other than the work of your project)
• is in contempt of court
• contains links to content that can’t be seen easily, may be unsafe (viruses, worms, spyware and Trojans) or automatically launches lots of windows.

5. Uploader and our responsibilities

5.1   We take great care to make our content and Uploader the best they can be. So if something does go wrong, we are responsible only:

• if our content or Uploader damages your device or anything on it. Should this happen, you might be able to ask for compensation under consumer protection law. Compensation isn’t guaranteed, though. Be sure to get legal advice;
• for certain unlikely events if our negligence causes death or injury, for example;
• if you’re an individual “consumer” and it would be unfair for us to not be held responsible.

5.2 Otherwise, we’re not liable for anything that happens if:

• you rely on advice, data, commentary, opinions or any other content;
• there are errors, omissions, interruptions, delays, bugs or viruses;
• we turn off or remove content or Uploader (we’d normally only do this when we moderate, for legal reasons, or if we’re improving Uploader);
• the thing that happens couldn’t reasonably have been foreseen;
• the thing that happens wouldn’t usually result from the mishap; or
• you and we hadn’t agreed that this thing would probably happen in the event of a mishap;

This applies to sites we link to as well as our content and Uploader.

6. General

6.1 We may cancel this activity at any stage if we feel it is necessary in our opinion, or if circumstances arise which are outside of our control.

6.2 We may change these rules at any stage and in any way.
