Introduction
Many organisations, ranging from police forces to schools, require the BBC to enter into written agreements in return for facilitating access to their premises or staff. This can be a useful way of formalising the terms under which consent for access or other contributions is granted. The contract may take the form of an Indemnity, which simply states the BBC's legal liability to the organisation providing facilities to the BBC, or it may be an access agreement covering a broad range of rights and obligations for both parties.
