National Down Syndrome Policy Group@NDSPolicyGroup
The Committee has rejected another crucial #AssistedDying Bill amendment to protect individuals with Down syndrome. All proposals to safeguard those with LD, autism, & Down syndrome have been dismissed. We have been excluded from the process & our voices are being ignored.

A fabulously straightforward system to allow people to work because they want to 😊 Well done to the employers who engage with this initiative 👏🏻 They gain much more than another employee!

Olivia has been working at Nando’s as part of their front-of-house team since May last year. As well as recently being chosen as star employee of the week, Olivia also got some fabulous customer feedback. A customer wrote: 'Good afternoon, I had a lovely meal with my family today, and I was served by a fantastic waitress called Olivia. Polite, courteous and very helpful.’ Oliva loves her role and when asked about it, she says, ‘it feels like home.’ She is going to apply to become a buddy trainer at Nandos. This will mean that she will help to train other staff members both new and current to deliver the best customer service. Learn more about WorkFit: downs-syndrome.org.uk/our-work/servi…
