What we do in Wales

The Down's Syndrome Association's Wales Office is the first port of call for further information on our activities and projects across Wales.

• We provide an information service on all aspects of living successfully with Down's syndrome and have a particular knowledge of how services operate across Wales and what support is available.
• We provide a comprehensive bespoke training service for professionals working with people with Down's syndrome living in Wales  These are targeted across health, education, social care and voluntary sectors. To request further information or discuss your training needs. Please contact the Wales office if you have training needs in Wales.
• We regularly respond to policy consultations that affect people with Down's syndrome and work with partner organisations across health, education, social care and voluntary sectors in order to ensure that children and adults with Down's syndrome can lead full and rewarding lives.
• We support a network of volunteer, parent-led Support Groups across Wales and can put you in touch with someone local to you, should you wish.

NEW Teacher Training Materials 

The Association has been commissioned by the Welsh Assembly to produce a range of new information and training materials to support newly qualified teachers and teachers accessing ongoing professional development across Wales. These will be supported by good practice examples captured on DVD and featuring mainstream schools across Wales.
