"IfL are currently looking at ways to improve the way we keep employers up to date and there will soon be an area of the website dedicated to employer resources. This area will provide you with secure access to important information and stats about your organisation, however you will need to ensure we have the most up to date contact details for you. To be among the first to get access to these resources, please email employers@ifl.ac.uk with the name of the senior lead for your organisation and a contact email address, so we can keep you notified of this development."
