Supporting people with Down syndrome to have a say in the formation of policy

New and existing policies and practice should consider people with Down syndrome and their families

The group comprises people from a wide range of other charities and support groups: all with the common aim of ensuring that the voice of people with Down syndrome is heard in society and reflected in government policy.

Below are the groups who are supporting us and some of their members are represented within the NDSPG but we would love to hear from others.
