The Dyslexia Adult Network ( DAN) has just produced its newsletter, Network News. You will be able to find it on the DAN website (www.dan-uk.co.uk) and through the DAN Jiscmail service.
DAN is a collaboration of the CEOs of the main charities for adults with dyslexia and 6 co-opted individuals who have worked in the field for 20 years plus and have specialist knowledge areas. This steering committee agrees its activities, determining what are high priorities that a combined response from the charities etc could affect.

DAN has 2 campaigns running:

• Improving Access to Work for dyslexic people 
• Raising awareness of dyslexia in adults.

DAN isn’t a service organisation. They are looking for people to contact them via the website who are interested in supporting them eg signing a petition quickly when they have one etc.
