Historic DS Act meeting of minds

Wednesday 28th February was a historic day for Down Syndrome Cheshire. The Department for Health and Social Care came to our HQ to consult with our members about the Guidance for the Down Syndrome Act. We were proud that we were in a position to support all our members, those who needed communication aids, and those who required one-to-one support. We were also able to create an opportunity for our #iChooseBoard to hone their skills and to facilitate break-out sessions whilst the civil servants gained more knowledge and experience about DS so they are better informed about the condition. Working in partnership with Petty Pool College and Looking forward activities enabled this session to be such a success. It was a truly inspirational day. We would like to thank the National Down Syndrome Policy Group for asking us to host this session and People Health Trust for their funding.

"For anyone thinking about this, Jack and I went today and it was fab. The food was delicious and it was so nice to be in an environment where I felt relaxed if Jack kicked off and when he got quite loud (he’s not patient when he’s hungry 🤣) Will be going back next month for another cooked breakfast."
