This webinar will provide headteachers, nursery managers, teachers, practitioners and teaching assistants with insight into Down’s Syndrome and how early years settings can best nurture the development of young children with the condition.

The SEND code of practice: 0 - 25 years places a statutory duty on all early years providers in the maintained, private, voluntary and independent sectors that are funded by the local authority to have arrangements in place to support children with SEND, including a clear approach to identifying and responding to their needs.

In this webinar, the Down’s Syndrome Association, a national organisation committed to improving quality of life for people who have Down’s Syndrome, will explain how to promote the development of young children living with this condition through interaction, play and a range of early learning activities.
