The Down Syndrome Act became law more than four years ago, but we are still waiting for the Government to publish the final statutory guidance needed to turn the Act into meaningful change.
The National Down Syndrome Policy Group is calling on the Government to turn the Act into Action.
On the 8th September, their Open Letter will be taken directly to Downing Street and until then we will be sharing their campaign each day on our socials and would love you to support the campaign, share the message and help us make sure the voices of people with Down syndrome and their families are heard.
You can find and share their posts from our instagram @sunshineandsmilez or @ndspolicygroup or on Facebook: Sunshine and Smiles - Leeds Down Syndrome Network or National Down Syndrome Policy Group.
