The SLA offers a consultancy service, but we can't do everything so we like to also let people know who else is available. These knowledgeable individuals and organisations are available to support you. Please contact them directly. 

The inclusion of a consultant here does not indicate any recommendation or approval from the SLA - each school must take up references as appropriate.

Please note, there is a small fee of £75 (86€) + VAT per year for each listing.
