Sea of Smiles
After nearly three years in the planning, CdLS UK hosted the World Federation CdLS Conference at Brighton. More than 500 people took part with families and professionals coming from every continent other than Antartica. As well as the family conference, the World Federation held its biennial leaders meeting and the meeting of the Scientific Advisory Council. The SAC also had a research day where researchers presented their latest work to the SAC. The UK’s SCAT (Scientific and Clinical Advisory Team) also hosted a special one day conference for professionals working with CdLS including care workers, teachers, doctors and social workers.
