At DSUK, we ask families to contribute towards the subsidised cost of many of our services. We would never want a family not to be able to access services, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if needed.
Our on-demand sessions give you the flexibility to access expert information at a time that suits you. Each session is a recording of one of our live online information sharing sessions (aimed at a UK audience), covering key topics that support families and professionals. Sessions cost £5 or a concessionary fee of £2.50. Once purchased, you will have 90 days of access from the date of sign-up, with the option to watch and re-watch the presentation as often as you like during that period.
To view the recordings, you will need to be a member of our free Portal. If you’re not already a member, it only takes a moment to join.

Constipation is one of the most common - and often most misunderstood - issues faced by children with Down syndrome. In this on-demand session, independent children’s bladder and bowel specialist June Rogers MBE shares her decades of experience helping families understand and manage this challenge with confidence.
June explains how to recognise early signs of constipation, why it develops, and what practical steps you can take to prevent and manage it. She covers simple changes that can make a big difference, from diet and hydration to establishing positive toilet routines.
With warmth and clarity, June helps parents feel informed and supported. You’ll come away with a better understanding of how your child’s body works, what to look out for, and how to work with healthcare professionals to get the right support early.
We regularly review our training programme and would love to hear from you if you are an expert in your field or have a suggestion of a topic for us to cover.
