Though the staff have a contract with the Agency, the college has a contract
with the Agency and therefore unless your contract with the Agency states
otherwise the college retains the copyright on materials created for the
college.
The college is employing a company to provide a service to the college and
it is the agency staff who are employed by the agency to fulfil the
contract.
I would suspect that the terms of the contract need to be looked over.
I would like to remind you that the information being provided in this

> We have a number of Protocol Professionals (Agency Lecturers)

> copyright for their content. As the agency lecturing staff

> college doesn't own the rights or even a licence to the
> content, which could lead to many issues later when they
> leave or move to other courses.
