Creating inclusive Employment – Down Syndrome Day

Mar 26, 2024

To mark World Down Syndrome day on March 21st, we hosted a very special and interesting event with  Down Syndrome Ireland at the Delta Centre.  We had a host of amazing speakers talking of their experiences as employees and employers. Creating Inclusive Employment is vital to all businesses and thank you to Joanne Dawson for her presentation.

I will say no more, but would recommend that you put the kettle on and take a few minutes to watch back on the recording from our event.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this special event in Delta Centre CLG and our partners Down Syndrome Ireland
