This online resource has been put together by academics, media organisations and members of civil society to provide an online platform dedicated to providing training on Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation, or as they are more commonly known, SLAPPs.

SLAPPs have become a predominant issue in recent years, with concerns being raised from numerous organisations around the world that they are being used to silence critical and public interest reporting.

On this website, we will provide you with the information you need to be able to recognise what a SLAPP is and how they are typically brought. We will also discuss how you can give yourself the best protection against SLAPPs, but also where you can turn to if you think you have been subjected to a SLAPP action.
