Learn To Include (LTI) are a small team of passionate professionals who came together through a shared drive to see inclusive practice made accessible to all. Whilst we came from different backgrounds, what united us was years of working alongside some truly incredible people. Getting to know them, hearing their stories, and sharing part of their journey inspired each of us. Through those experiences, we saw just how much difference understanding, acceptance, and the right support can make. We've seen people thrive when they're valued for who they are. We've also seen hurt and missed opportunities when people aren't listened to, understood, or included.

Our journeys have taken us into schools, social work, third sector and community organisations. Along the way, we've had the privilege of learning from people with lived experience whose honesty, resilience, and insight have taught us far more than any course or textbook ever could. Their voices have shaped not only our understanding of inclusion, but also our belief that we can and must do better.

We've seen the positive impact that understanding and inclusive practice can have on individuals, families, communities, and organisations. Those experiences have shown us what's possible. But we were left wanting to do more. We wanted to find a way to reach beyond the people and organisations we each worked with directly, share learning more widely, and help ensure that the voices and experiences that had taught us so much could be heard.

LTI grew from that belief. A belief that understanding creates change, that lived experience matters, and that by learning from one another we can help build a kinder, more inclusive world where everyone has the opportunity to belong and thrive.
