Trinity University helps Wales Dyslexia
Trinity University College and Wales Dyslexia have signed a Memorandum of Agreement which will see both organisations utilising each other’s expertise and working collaboratively on a number of areas relating to dyslexia.
The agreement will involve collaboration on research and other projects linked to dyslexia; making joint funding applications in relation to developing relevant learning resources and in particular Welsh language and bilingual resources to support dyslexia in Wales.
It will also enable students at Trinity University College studying education and social inclusion programmes to gain a greater understanding of the needs of those who are dyslexic and for dyslexic students to benefit from enhanced learning opportunities.
Mr Gwilym Dyfri Jones, Dean of the Faculty of Education and Training said: “We are very pleased to work in partnership with Wales Dyslexia.
"As we move forward to create the University of Wales Trinity Saint David alongside colleagues at Lampeter, we are mindful of the importance of developing strong partnerships with key organisations in order to meet the educational, cultural and social needs of Wales."
He continued: “This partnership will enable us to take forward a range collaborative opportunities. I would like to acknowledge the work already done by Dyslexia Wales and the excellent leadership shown by Mr Michael Davies, the charity’s chief executive."
Father Paul Mackness, Chair of Dyslexia Wales, added “This is a historical development for Wales Dyslexia which has been for the past nine years providing bilingual advice and support for dyslexics, their family and others interested in dyslexia across Wales.”
“Although we have an administrative base in Cardigan, the location of an office on the campus in Carmarthen opens a new door of opportunity.
"We would like to see Trinity becoming the Wales Centre for Dyslexia. Trinity has the expertise in the field of education and we have the expertise in the field of dyslexia. I am sure that by building on the solid foundations of both organisations we can pull these together to meet the needs of Wales.”
