Down Syndrome Awareness Training Course

Welcome to our course about Down syndrome. Over the past 50 years the life expectancy of people with Down syndrome has changed dramatically. As a consequence, awareness of the condition, how the condition affects those who have it and those close to them, and what happens to people with the condition as they age, have all changed significantly too. This awareness continues to grow.
Who should take this Down Syndrome Awareness online training course?
This course has been designed specifically for people who want to know more about Down syndrome. Whilst it provides focus for people working in social care, it will also be useful to a wider audience of people who would like to know more about these topics.
