Dyslexia Awareness Campaign Launched |
|
Dr Stephen Farry, Minister for Employment and Learning today launched the Transport and Salaried Staff Association (TSSA) Dyslexia Awareness Campaign for Translink employees.
The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness amongst staff of the support available within the workplace to deal with dyslexia. The TSSA awareness raising campaign is supported by the Department for Employment and Learning’s Union Learning Fund.
Speaking at the event in Belfast, the Minister said: "Many adults struggle with learning difficulties which can have a negative impact on their ability to succeed and progress in the workplace. This campaign ensures people with dyslexia are aware that support is available to enable them to develop their literacy and numeracy skills, improving access to information and qualifications and helping them to address any barriers they may have in returning to education."
Catherine Mason, Translink Group Chief Executive, said: "We are very much committed to the personal development of all our employees and want to help them as far as possible to reach their full potential. This partnership not only offers us the opportunity to reach out to employees with dyslexia who may need support but will also allow us to create a dyslexia-wise workplace by helping to educate the wider workforce and help bring out the best in all our employees."
