Turning policy into practice

Dyslexia Commission

Chaired by Matt Hancock MP, a former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, the dyslexia commission will bring together all levels of government with civil society bodies and industry to consider ways to implement change. 

In 2022, there will be a series of policy announcements that will make a significant difference to people with dyslexia. This year, policy institute Curia is to partner with the British Dyslexia Association and other leading organisations in the special educational needs and disability community (SEND) to consider ways to make implementation as impactful as possible.
