Today (12 May 2026) is International Nurses Day! 🧑‍⚕️ Today, on International Nurses Day, we say a big 'thank you' to all nurses who help support the health of people who have Down’s syndrome. From GP practice nurses involved in Annual Health Checks, nurses working in acute hospital care, to Learning Disability Nurses who often provide more specialist advice and support, we are grateful for their skill and compassion in helping people who have Down’s syndrome stay well, or providing treatment when they become ill. The DSA has a wide range of resources on all aspects of health and wellbeing, you can read more about these here : downs-syndrome.org.uk/about-downs-sy…

Over recent months, the Down’s Syndrome Association (DSA) has been deeply committed to engaging with the proposals set out in the Government’s Schools White Paper and SEND consultation. We are in the final stages of drafting our response. As with our work on the Down Syndrome Act guidance, our response has been shaped by two equally important sources: long‑standing professional expertise and the lived experience of parents/carers of children and young people who have Down’s syndrome. The White Paper sets out an ambition for a more inclusive, consistent and accountable SEND system. We share that ambition. Families want a system that works early, works fairly and works lawfully, not one they must fight simply to secure basic support. Please read our full response over on our website: downs-syndrome.org.uk/news/news-rese…
