Rejected petition Challenge councils branding of Dyslexia as ‘scientifically questionable’.

Further to the article “Dyslexia no longer being diagnosed by councils who called Dyslexia ‘scientifically questionable’ .” in the Daily Telegraph on 11/01/2018, I call on the councils named in the article; Warwickshire and Staffordshire to publicly apologise and continue to diagnose Dyslexia.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This would the responsibility of the local authorities concerned and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to issue national guidance on the diagnosis of dyslexia if that is something you would like to see happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
