I was talking to a student today who is considering being assessed
to see if he is dyslexic. He asked me a question that I am often
asked but do not know the conclusive answer to. Do you have to
declare on a job application form if you are dyslexic ?
Does any one know the answer? obviously I told him about the DDA and
discussed the wider issues of discrimination in employment and that
the employer may want to offer support but can not do this if they do
not know.
Can any one offer an answer as I think this is becoming an
increasing issue, particularly for final year students.
