• Describe the grounds for complaint, some examples are:
  • Unauthorised use by reason of reproduction and/or making available the material.

2. For all but spurious complaints, temporarily remove access to the item that is subject to complaint

3. Acknowledge receipt of the complaint by email

4. Seek to verify your identity and authority as complainant

5. Refer the complaint to the University's Legal Advisor for comment and advice

If the Legal Advisor confirms that it does not breach any law then the item will be reinstated.
