We are proud to support the British Dyslexia Association’s (BDA) recent campaign, and encourage you to do the same.

With one in ten people suffering with dyslexia, many of these go undiagnosed and unrecognised. Often this is because teachers lack the skills to identify and support children who are dyslexic.

There is currently no mandatory minimum level of dyslexia training that the initial teacher training course providers must deliver.

With dyslexia support delivered at school, there should be more people with dyslexia who succeed in their future professions, including medicine, law, business, engineers and electricians.

The BDA is campaigning to remedy this and has set up a petition on the government website. This petition states that there should be a compulsory module on Dyslexia. If this petition reaches 100,000 signatures then this issue will be debated in the House of Commons.

Every signature counts and your signature could make a difference enabling teacher to help hundreds of thousands of dyslexic pupils.

We hope that you feel the same, if you do then please take a moment to sign the petition at

Many thanks for your help in supporting this cause.
