What is the process?

  • Once schools begin work on the award they complete whole school and classroom audits and write an action plan,
  • A timeline is used to guide schools and further training is provided for the whole school by the Dyslexia Team,
  • Support and advice is available from the Dyslexia Team throughout this process,
  • Following a successful verification visit and report from the Dyslexia Team, schools will be presented with the award and a plaque to celebrate!
