Topic:
Know Your Legal Rights
Fabio and CO
Solicitors
Solicitor and Speaker
Lesley A Hudgeon
As dyslexics we sometimes misinterpret situations and possibly leave ourselves open to misinterpretation and possibly confrontation with the law.
It has been brought to badg attention that some of its members have been inappropriately handled by West Midlands Police.
Also young dyslexics are being targeted due to their dyslexia and learning difficulties as an easy statistic in raising artificially their detection rates. As a result dyslexics and people with learning difficulties are suffering.
As a result badg has invited Lesley A Hudgeon to better prepare us in dealing with the police calmly and appropriately and to empower us with more up-to-date and accurate information.
Second speaker and presentation
Birmingham City Council
