Requesting a Link on Bournemouth Borough Council's Website

Essentially it is our aim to publish links which logically follow on from content on our site and provide valid and accessible information for our users.

We will consider any website on its merits but in general terms we would link to:

• Internal Government websites.
• National organisations (.org sites) that have a link  (perceived or real) to Government, such as the BBC etc.
• Professional or trade bodies (including trade unions).
• Non-UK Government sites: e.g. to an international body such as
  the European Union.
• Organisations in the voluntary sector (no organisations too overtly political or campaigning). 
• Some commercial sites, though with no endorsement of organisations and their products (a full review of the site and products will need to be undertaken before a link is established).
