Further Education Institutions

Individuals do not “grow out” of being dyslexic but as the environment in which they are learning changes often so do their needs. In order to reflect this different environment the Quality Mark for the Post 16 Education and Training Sector is made up of standards that cover 5 areas, these are;

• Effectiveness of Management Structure.
• Identification of Dyslexia/SpLD.
• Effectiveness of Resources (Physical Environment, Teaching and Learning).
• Continuing Professional Development.
• Partnership with Learners, Parents/Carers and External Agencies.

In the same way has the Quality Mark for schools operates under each of the above headings are criteria that must be achieved in order to demonstrate that the standard for a Dyslexia Friendly Post 16 Education & Training Provider has been met.

The Dyslexia Friendly Standards for FE and Record of Evidence documents are closely linked to: - OFSTED (14-19). - Adult Learning Inspectorate. - Education & Training Inspectorate, Northern Ireland IQ:RS. - ESTYN – Common Inspection Framework for Education & Training in Wales.
