<< Hi,
I have had a query about a member of staff who thinks they might be
dyslexic. Does anyone know if the university [employer] has a
responsibility to pay for a diagnostic assessment or if it is up to the
member of staff concerned to pay for this? Thank you.
With best wishes

I think it would normally be up to any employee to prove the their employer
that they had a disability. I don't see rthat the employer being a university
affects that. Although one would hope that the quality of support would be
better.
I would suggest that paying for the assessment oneself is possibly a better
option in case one wants to challenge the diagnosis.
