Brain injury affects every child differently. Too many children are discharged from hospital without adequate follow up & the consequences can be life long. We want to reach every child in the UK with a brain injury so they have access to the rehabilitation & services they need, when they need them.

    Situation

    One child in every class in every primary school across the UK will be affected by an acquired brain injury. Every brain injury is different. Some difficulties may be apparent straight away, whilst others take time to appear: from fatigue, concentration & memory to control of emotions. Too many children are discharged from hospital without adequate follow-up. These unsupported needs can lead to poor educational attainment, school exclusion, mental health problems & trouble with the police.

    Solution

    1) We will pilot & test 3 Community Neurorehabilitation teams in England to influence transformational system change so that every child with a brain injury will have access to the rehabilitation & services they need, when they need them. 2) We will equip teachers with a new Schools Brain Injury Awareness Service. This will help teachers to identify children with an acquired brain injury so they can get the best support, reducing the impact on their education & increasing their life chances.
