In 1997 the City Council of Swansea began a programme of dyslexia friendly 
education in its schools. Its Special Educational Needs (SEN) support 
service had no teachers qualified in dyslexia, although the four per cent of 
the school population that had statements of special educational needs 
included a large number of children with dyslexia. The local education 
authority (LEA) produced a document called Dyslexia Friendly Schools - a 
good practice guide that included a commitment to provide teachers qualified 
and experienced in dyslexia to work in each of its primary and secondary 
schools.

Hope this helps with the first part of your question, at least.

Chris
