The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Paul McNeill on winning the prestigious award of Outstanding Contribution to Education for Dyslexia, at the Potential Unlocked Awards 2021; delights that he applied his creativity to collaborate with Julie McNeill and Rossie Stone to publish Mission Dyslexia as a fun, interactive book for families to enjoy as they journey with three superheroes; acknowledges that Paul's inspiration to make a difference in this way is firmly rooted in his lived experience of growing up with dyslexia; honours Paul's family for their consistent, positive support during his childhood in making regular visits to libraries in a fun, engaging way as his skills and confidence grew; delights that the Mission Dyslexia book has been welcomed as a high quality SEN resource by families, educational practitioners and recognised by those judging the highly competitive Potential Unlocked Awards; wishes to thank all those who supported Paul's nomination, and sends every best wish to Paul and his colleagues for continued impact through their activities and publications.
