How do I submit a CFVI Resource?
There are lots of accessible resources being created by individuals throughout the UK and through this hub, we can help you to share the resources that you, your organisation or service create. This means that everyone can benefit from access to a greater pool of resources.

1. Log in to your Bookshare account.

3. A 'Submit CFVI resource' online form appears, please enter the following:
- Title of resource

- Area (Select from list)
- Are you submitting this resource as an individual or on behalf of an organisation?
- Has the resource been accessibility checked (Yes/ No)

You will receive a notification that your resource has been received and a member of staff will get in touch with you via email to confirm your submission.
Before submitting a resource - Checklist:
Before submitting your resource to us, please consider the following items:
- Proofread your document
- Ensure content is current
- Acknowledge any sources that informed the development of the resource.
- Include the provider’s name/organisation as a header/footer.
- Introduce and explain any acronyms
- Check: does the resource mention something very specific to your setting e.g. resource 1 in cupboard 2 etc. If so, amend.
- If you mention a toy or item or a resource you have devised that another school/service may not recognise, include a picture (with alt-text).
