All Party Parliamentary Group for Dyslexia
The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Dyslexia is made up MPs and Peers who want to keep up-to-date with issues affecting children, young people and adults with dyslexia. The group is committed to understanding dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties, across the UK and to keeping government appraised of the situation in schools and education in general. The group, which must meet at least twice during its reporting year, looks at what statutory and non-statutory bodies are achieving in this field.
The British Dyslexia Association has been the Secretariat for the APPG since 2017.
Many important topics have been brought to this meeting- browse the APPG Meeting Archive below to see recent and historic meeting notes.
