Do I Have To Make Adjustments For Dyslexic Employees?

By Rehana Hussain of Charles Gregory Solicitors Limited on Friday, March 18, 2016.

Dyslexia is a 'protected characteristic' under the Equality Act 2010. This means that dyslexic people should not be treated less favorably and should have access to reasonable adjustments. Dyslexia is often termed as a hidden disability; as you would not, from looking and talking to a person, know they have it. Whether or not employees choose to declare it, though they are protected under the Equality Act 2010, is a matter of choice. Many employees choose not to declare it because of the stigma attached. However, with reasonable adjustments in place you, as an employer, may gain employees who are highly skilled in problem solving, communications, strategy creation, improving processes, lateral and creative thinking. They can be an asset to the company and bring new fresh ideas to lead the company into new directions.
