CCFC Turns Purple for World Down Syndrome Awareness

We have turned purple to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day 2022.

The date for World Down Syndrome Day is the 21st day of the 3rd month and was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.

The theme for this years World Down Syndrome Day is “Inclusion Means”. Down Syndrome International have put together a step-by-step guide to educate children and adults who do not understand what ‘inclusion’ means or how to be ‘inclusive’.
