British Council seminars are designed to be interactive and participative, and those attending are encouraged to contribute in their own personal capacity. In order to maintain the confidentiality of discussions, all seminars are held under the Chatham House Rule.
The rule means that participants are free to use the information and views received during the event, but that no individual contributor or participant should be quoted (or their identity or affiliation revealed) without their express permission. Any exceptions to this practice (e.g. because a contributor wishes to be on the record) will be stated at the time.
