Employment webinar - Dyslexia in the workplace

Join discrimination law expert Sarah Gilzean and our special guest, Dr Jeremy Law from the University of Glasgow, an expert in dyslexia and cognitive mechanisms associated with reading success, for a very practical discussion relating to dyslexia in the workplace.

Statistics suggest that around 10% of the UK population have dyslexia but a report from last year by Dyslexia Scotland found that only 41% of those with dyslexia receive reasonable workplace adjustments. In this webinar we will discuss the key legal and practical considerations that employers should be aware of, as well as discussing how to remove barriers to ensure that dyslexic employees can perform at their best. We will cover:-

  • The legal position
  • The science behind dyslexia
  • Issues that arise in the workplace
  • Practical solutions for employers
  • Q&A

This webinar is applicable to the law of Scotland, England and Wales.
