Overview
- Jamie Oliver uses his one-hour documentary to expose how the British education system fails neurodivergent children and to demand truly inclusive schools
- He shares his own dyslexia journey after a January 2025 diagnosis, recalling five years in special needs classes and only reading his first book at age 33
- Contributions from Holly Willoughby and Jamie Laing illustrate the emotional impact of dyslexia on self-esteem and daily learning
- The NHS estimates dyslexia affects about 10% of the UK population and dyslexic individuals are 3.5 times more likely to be expelled and at higher risk of criminalisation without support
- Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson’s pledge for mandatory neurodiversity training in teacher induction marks the first government reform stemming from Oliver’s campaign
