Primary school workshop terms & conditions 2024

By booking a workshop, or series of workshops, from The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions.

• The copyright for any written contribution published following the workshop(s) will remain with the author. This permission is not exclusive, and the author can continue to use the material in any way they choose, including submitting the work for publication elsewhere or allowing others to use it for whatever purpose the author chooses.

• All content produced by participants for publication as part of the workshop, must be the original work of the participant and must not infringe the rights of any other party. In addition, the use of generative AI tools to create all or part of a submission is not permitted and will be rejected. The Bank will always discuss this with the author and will work with them to resolve the issues and allow them to publish their own original work.

• Our stories are all child led and we do not steer participants towards any particular story or theme, unless previously agreed as part of the project. These decisions remain solely the responsibility of The Bank.

• The Bank takes its role in safeguarding the young people we work with extremely seriously. We have a responsibility to look after the wellbeing of our authors, but also the wellbeing of anyone who might read their stories or poems. We understand that the audience that content is intended for can vary greatly. Readers will include a range of ages, backgrounds and cultures.

• We undertake to send the completed book back to the school, in the first instance, who will then distribute the books to the children. This will constitute the school’s opportunity to read and approve the book as being age-appropriate and suitable for public distribution.

• Should any participating institution (School, Youth Club, Funding body, LGA etc) feel that any content is inappropriate, at odds with their ethos or reflects negatively upon their institution, we will endeavour to work with such bodies to find a solution. However, subject to the previous sentence, all final editorial and publishing decisions remain the sole responsibility of The Bank of Dreams & Nightmares.

• All content published by The Bank is written by the participants and all views expressed are their own. The opinions or beliefs expressed in our publications are not those of The Bank of Dreams & Nightmares unless explicitly stated.
