What Is the BDA Workplace Dyslexia-Friendly Pledge?

The BDA Workplace Dyslexia-Friendly Pledge is a practical, one-year commitment that helps organisations take clear, achievable steps toward becoming more inclusive for employees with dyslexia and other neurodivergent needs.

The pledge is based on our trusted Dyslexia-Friendly Quality Mark framework and is designed to support companies of all sizes in improving awareness, accessibility, and communication across the workplace.

What Do Companies Commit To?

When your organisation signs the pledge, you commit to:

  • Raising awareness and understanding of dyslexia in the workplace

  • Reviewing and improving communication and support systems

  • Making reasonable adjustments to policies, training, and materials

  • Providing managers and HR teams with resources to support neurodivergent staff

  • Creating an environment where all employees can thrive

You don’t need to be perfect to start — the pledge is about progress, not perfection. You’ll receive a toolkit to help guide your journey step by step.

How Long Does It Last?

The pledge lasts for 12 months, with:

  • Immediate access to resources and your Dyslexia-Friendly Pledge badge

  • Ongoing support and check-ins

  • The opportunity to renew and build on your progress each year

How much does it cost?

Just £150 for any size organisation.
