​The role of an Accredited Dyslexia Champion

Picture

Graduates of the DYSLEXIA CHAMPIONS™ training & accreditation programme are employees who contribute towards a ‘dyslexia/neuro-divergence friendly’ workplace culture.


  • An Accredited Dyslexia Champion is an ‘approachable & knowledgeable colleague’.
  • They have a positive influence on their colleagues and work environment.
  • They continue to gain knowledge around the area of interest - dyslexia and associated ‘processing differences’ (dyscalculia, dyspraxia, ADD & ADHD) with continuous professional development (CPD) .
  • These individuals appreciate the need for positive well-being - for colleagues and for themselves.
  • They work with heart – and they are approachable, knowledgeable and impartial.
  • They guide colleagues towards a recognised process of support.
  • They provide an essential, safe 'gateway' for those who may have concerns about seeking support. 
  • They are equipped and able to answer questions from individuals and line managers.
  • They can provide important initial dyslexia 'first aid' for those who are feeling overwhelmed and unsure  whether they should mention their challenges.
Through a course of study these individuals have acquired an understanding of neuro-divergent 'conditions' and the comorbidity (co-existence) of these.  They appreciate the potential challenges faced by those who have little understanding of their own processing differences and/or no appropriate,tailored strategies or tools in place.  During their studies they have enhanced their active listening skills and have an understanding of the potential impact dyslexia and other neuro-divergent 'conditions on well-being and mental health.   

Their accredited status is acquired through the completion of an Open College Network (OCN) Level 2 workbook assignment (accompanied by mentoring) which leads to a qualification. Plus there is an opportunity for ongoing CPD which ensures they keep up to date and are able to continue to provide a quality service to those who approach them for guidance.
Please note: These individuals have undertaken this course of study to guide their fellow workers or students, family and friends.  This is not a public service.
