Down Syndrome Liverpool and the SENISS service jointly provided training for Education Support Assistants working with children in Liverpool's schools, both primary and secondary.

This was in response to concerns expressed by both Down Syndrome Liverpool and SENISS, about how children and young people with Down syndrome in Liverpool's mainstream schools could best be supported.

This is both an issue for those children in schools now and also for the increasing numbers of children who have Down syndrome who are expected to enter reception classes in the near future.
