  5. The beginning of a QUALITY provision • CfBT Dyslexia Training. • SFL Conferences – HMP Kennet • Dyslexia Action Training – Hidden Difficulties Training • Networking meeting running alongside Functional Skills meeting.

  6. Inclusion Champions • The introduction of Inclusion Champions throughout the whole of The Manchester College Justice Services • Positive and Negatives that have been highlighted
