Why is this resource in need of some TLC?<\/h3>\n
We have listed this as ‘needs TLC’ in this case simply because some of the organisations’ names as listed are no longer current, and some of the ‘further reading’ and ‘useful sources of information’ resources are dated..but as only a hard copy of this pack exists, we can’t update them in the text. Trust us,\u00a0 you’ll love it!!<\/p>\n
