My awesome little friend Joseph is doing a rugby challenge for #WorldDownSyndromeDay to raise funds for @21PlusDS a charity very close to my heart.

He has raised £800 already so if you can help him hit his goal please do, here's the link: https://t.co/HqnYwm41rX

@WelshGovernment Young people who fight to get into specialised colleges only get funding for 2 years from Welsh Government whereas all their peers in England get 3 years. How is that fair?

[21 Plus @21PlusDS]

@WelshGovernment There is not enough provision for services like speech and language, occupational therapy etc, and not enough funding for young people to get meaningful employment qualifications and independent living skills in specialised colleges.

[21 Plus @21PlusDS]

@WelshGovernment I’m afraid this makes me very cross as Welsh Government are not currently seeing the vast majority of people with learning disabilities. There is not enough funding in schools for children with ALN to get the support they need and deserve.
