We know, through our helpline and advocacy work, just how significantly people who have Down’s syndrome and their families were affected by the COVID19 pandemic.
Concerns about shielding, access to vaccines and antivirals, community services being halted, strict visiting policies meaning extended separations and challenges in accessing non-covid healthcare being some of the themes of calls we responded to.
The COVID Public Inquiry, being led by Baroness Hallett is much in the news at the moment.
Do you have a story you want to share with the Public Inquiry? Please take the opportunity to tell those leading the inquiry what worked or helped or what was especially difficult for you and your loved ones. It is only by hearing these important personal accounts that we can make sure the Government and public bodies are in the best position possible to deal with a pandemic in the future.
