It's great to get the message out across the UK on BBC Radio about dyslexia and the changes we need to see in the education sector to support our dyslexic children and young people nationwide. Listen to our CEO Ellen on BBC radio Bristol at 02:23:59 bit.ly/4jLbwel

Every day, children with dyslexia are being told they’re lazy, slow, or naughty — when what they really need is support. This isn’t fair. It isn’t right. And it is fixable. 🎯 Train every teacher. 📍 Spot every child. #comeonbridget Jamie Oliver Demand Change for dyslexic

It was a big day for children's play yesterday with the launch of the report of our year long Play Commission. 10 recommendations to bring play back into every aspect of children's lives, get them off addictive apps, boost their health & happiness & transform communities.

I joined Jamie Oliver on The News Agents to talk about his powerful documentary and why I want to work with him to build a more inclusive, support-first system that ensures every child, including those with additional needs, can achieve & thrive at school. open.spotify.com/episode/0j4aZP…

A thought-provoking article by Dr Neil Alexander-Passe exploring how the school-to-prison pipeline affects young people with SEND. Well worth a read: bit.ly/4lKoTNF #SEND #Inclusion #Education #SchoolToPrisonPipeline

This is a very telling statistic and so often what families in Walthamstow find - it’s why we have to secure change that gets support in place right the first time and with families and carers not in spite of them.

The British Dyslexia Association is proud to be part of the #FightForOrdinary campaign with Disabled Children's Partnership. It’s time to fix the broken #SEND system because there’s nothing ‘special’ about the right to learn, take part, and feel included. Join us and make it happen! shorturl.at/4bQnW
