Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what proportion of civil servants with dyslexia pass the commercial function assessment at any grade with an A.

Achievement levels for civil servants with dyslexia is not held centrally.

Government Commercial Function (GCF) works with staff networks (for example, the GCF Disability and Neurodivergent Network) to ensure that individuals are treated fairly and empathetically. Where appropriate GCF seeks professional advice, such as occupational health assessments, and encourages the use of the Workplace Adjustment Passports.

The Assessment Development Centre is designed to be as accessible as possible. Participants are encouraged to discuss any adjustments they might need at the assessment centre and adjustments are open for further discussion and amendment if needed.
