New Policy Job: Can you help people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)?
The UK’s first “Do-Tank” is recruiting for a Policy and Research Analyst with a special interest in education to support a new Dyslexia Commission in 2022, leading to a SEND Commission in 2023.

The Commission is chaired by a former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP.
