OPEN FOR BUSINESS
We are still 'open for business' at the RSN with all of our staff working remotely to stay safe. We will still be delivering our services to our customers, although we're having a little think about how to best enable our usual face to face meetings and seminars.
We are looking forward to chatting with you online! If you have a query please email admin@sparse.gov.uk and we will get back to you.
Stay safe!
