This page will collate the SLA resources that are of particular use when working from home.
These are in addition to our usual provision of Online Courses, Publications, the CPD Library and the support resources and advice line.
The SLA office is still open, and we are on hand to maintain services.
You can find a list of resources and platforms which have been made freely available below, as well as information about upcoming events and plans in reaction to the closure of schools.
We will update this page as needed. Best wishes for you all at this time.
