Live lessons from the slopes of Everest, anti-bullying support, and dyslexia training are among the SecEd At a glance headlines for Thursday, September 29.

Anti-bullying charity Ditch the Label has launched an “online support hub” for schools and is offering free education packs. The hub offers advice and support for young people who are experiencing bullying, hate crime, or associated problems such as issues with mental health or body image. To mark the launch, 500 copies of the charity’s education packs are being given away (normal price £125). Visit: www.ditchthelabel.org/educationpacks/

October 3 to 7 is Dyslexia Awareness Week and the theme this year is “Identifying Dyslexia”. A range of activities will be taking place across the UK and schools are being reminded that charities Dyslexia Action and the British Dyslexia Association are offering free government-funded training this term to help teachers and support staff understand, identify and support children with dyslexia.
