Island schools not complying with Equality Act says campaign group

Dyslexia Advocacy Group has suggested fines be imposed on schools not offering the right support

Schools on the Isle of Man have been accused of not complying with the Equality Act when it comes to supporting those with dyslexia.

Members of the Dyslexia Advocacy Group have been giving evidence to a Tynwald Select Committee after bringing forward a Petition for Redress calling for better identification and provision for those with the condition.

The Island's Equality Act has been in place since 2018.

Julia Bell, Renee Caley and Peter Washington were among those raising concerns at the sitting:

The Department of Education, Sport and Culture is due to give evidence to the committee on Friday 21 February.
