In 2016-17, Dig-iT Adults provided a dyslexic perspective to barriers to employment as part of a consultation with Warwickshire County Council (WCC) Human Resources Department.
This led to WCC developing a policy on the recruitment and retention of people with dyslexia.

Recently, Dig-iT was extremely excited to hear that this work featured as a case study in a report called ‘Neurodiverse Voices: Opening Doors to Employment’ produced by the Westminster AchieveAbility Commission for Dyslexia and Neurodivergence.
Dig-iT is referenced on page 67 as Case Study number 4.
The report aims to highlight the difficulties people with dyslexia experience in looking for work and while employed and how these issues can be dealt with.
Furthermore it calls for “...the improvement of government support programmes and disability initiatives”.
The full report can be accessed here.
