SLS Winter Newsletter 2025/26
The Scottish Longitudinal Study team wish all our service users a very happy festive season!
This is our latest newsletter, covering:
- the exciting release of our Data Dictionary in Excel version
- a change to our practice around outputs – all Stage 2 (final) outputs will need to be submitted for clearance, and we can no longer allow re-use of previously cleared outputs
- the various events we’ve attended in 2025 to promote the SLS
The Safe Setting will be closed from Friday 19th December 2025, and will reopen on Tuesday 6th January 2026.
Have a nice break, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
