Chief Insp Graeme Gallie – Police Scotland 

The Police National Dyslexia Association (PNDA – affectionately known as Panda) is a privately run association comprising of UK Police Officers and Staff. Our Aim is to support our Police colleagues with Dyslexia and other neurodivergent conditions in the workplace and in their day to day lives, and to promote awareness and learning around Dyslexia and neurodivergence.

Here, you will find information on Dyslexia and neurodivergence, resources, and updates on our hard work supporting our colleagues.

Our Mission:

  • Support our Police family across the UK with all things dyslexia.
  • Provide a database full of knowledge, understanding and lived experience.
  • Provide a listening ear with peer support.
  • Support colleagues and forces to fully understand reasonable adjustments, what works for one. may not work for another. 

Our Vision:

  • Change the stigma and labels associated with dyslexia and other neurodiversity.
  • Show the benefits of ‘Dyslexia Thinking’
  • Promote inclusiveness, understanding and acceptance for a neurodivergent workforce.
