Rejected petition Replace the term Down Syndrome with the term Chromies.

Chromies is more child friendly and is less likely to cause offence. The friendly vibe that the word 'Chromies' gives off is positive in light that we should not think of Down's syndrome as negative.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government and Parliament don't deicde what language people use.

You could start a petition asking for the term 'Chromies' to be used by all public bodies, as this is something that the Government could do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
