| View in browser Dear IncludED community,   Welcome to your October edition of LGfL's inclusion and wellbeing newsletter. On any normal year October is a busy month with Word Dyslexia Awareness Week, ADHD Awareness Month, World Mental Health Day and Black History Month all taking place. But of course this year it will be even more busy with some schools fully open, some bubbles learning from home and all sorts of combinations of home and school based learning taking place.   Whatever challenges you face, I hope the resources and information below are helpful to you, your colleagues and your learners. Have Your Say As you know we run regular training sessions on a range of topics related to inclusion. Most of our training is online at the moment. What would be great to know is if there are particular days of the week or times of the day that are easier for you to attend. Are school hours better or would you rather after school sessions? Please take a few seconds to fill in the form below and let us know how we can make sure as many people as possible are able to attend these free sessions.  Training Slot Survey       LGfL Will Be Headline Sponsors for TES SEN Show Yes, it is now official and we could not be prouder to share the news with our community.
