Jamie Oliver calls for more government support for dyslexic children

Two years after opening up about his dyslexia on BBC Breakfast, TV chef Jamie Oliver has called on the government to make vital changes to education for children with the condition.

He claims that the current system is “too slim” for dyslexic and neurodivergent children, and there’s “too many kids falling through the cracks”.

He’s recently met with Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, to ask for government action and said he is “excited to see what she’s going to commit to.”
