It is an ongoing work stream to make sure the issues in school libraries stay in front of the people who make the decisions.  To this end SLA have responded to several important consultations recently - this usually involves quite a piece of work reading the consultation documents and then compiling the written responses.  In the last few months we have contributed to DCSF on the 2020 Children and Young People's Workforce Consultation and the 21st Century Schools Consultation, as well as the Rose Review of the Primary Curriculum.  We have also made verbal contributions to the DCMS Public Libraries Review and the National Literacy Trust's Literacy Manifesto.  It's been a busy time, but it is vital that we make these representations to keep school libraries at the forefront of provision in schools.
