Use of the RCPCH logo by third parties

Strict control is placed on use of the RCPCH logo by third parties.

The use of the RCPCH branding is not permitted without written permission from the RCPCH. Accordingly, we reserve the right to request removal of RCPCH branding from any material (printed or electronic) which contains it without our written permission.

We grant permission to use the RCPCH branding only for official RCPCH business or where the RCPCH has participated in an event or publication where use of the logo is specifically agreed. The RCPCH logo is not permitted for use by individuals (with or without membership/fellowship) for their personal web/digital presence.

If you have an educational programme, mentoring scheme, clinical guideline or other publication that is relevant to paediatrics and child health, you may wish to seek RCPCH endorsement.
