Clarification on Promotional Materials Provided by External Organisations
Campaigners are able to use promotional materials providedby external organisations, subject to approval by a Sabbatical Officer. This means if, for example, Amnesty International Society wanted to distribute leaflets or magazines printed and published by Amnesty International they would be allowed to do this, so long as they pre-submitted one copy to the Sabbatical Suite for approval before doing so. The only exception to this policy is at Freshers' Fayre, when stricter rules are applied due to commercial reasons.
