We’re standing alongside an incredible crowd of campaigners, parents, educators, and young people - calling for urgent change in our schools. The British Dyslexia Association is proud to be here, campaigning alongside Jamie Oliver to make sure every child gets the support they need to thrive.
Right now, too many children with dyslexia are slipping through the cracks, not because they lack ability but because they aren’t being identified and supported early enough.
It’s time for the government to take action! We need more teacher training, early identification and intervention, and a real commitment to making education accessible for all.
If you believe in equal opportunities for dyslexic children, let’s make noise.

Imagine having your AI companion, Copilot, now be able to “see what you see” and provide helpful tips as you browse the web! You’d have an intelligent, curious, and helpful companion as you Search, Browse and Shop. When you choose to turn it on, we provide full control and privacy.
Here is one example of Copilot Vision making planning a trip a more productive, engaging, and less lonely experience!
