Trustees Annual Reports

"Children and young people have poor social competence post brain injury due to reduced cognition, executive functions, and emotional control. As a result they are twice as likely to have mental health issues in the future"

"When different organisations assess different aspects of a child's neuro-rehabilitation needs, everyone looks at things from a different perspective and have conflicting priorities"

"Our 10 year study proves that family-led home-based neuro-rehab interventions deliver the best outcomes for children and young people"

"Often families don't have the financial capability to access services. We need to rethink how we deliver neuro-rehab services to children and young people"

"Different 'experts' involved in paediatric neuro-rehabilitation come from different organisational cultures which causes conflict and has a negative effect on the outcomes for the child."

"More play increases brain plasticity and makes for better recovery post brain injury"

"We need to harness the power of brain plasticity for treating children and young people with brain injury, especially at the key ages of 0-3 and at ages 10-16"

"NHS clinicians struggle with what intervention to prioritise in paediatric neuro-rehabilitation due to limited clinical time and the complexity of needs. Children, clinicians, parents and schools all have different neuro-rehabilitation priorities"

"Families need to be properly supported as 'resilience' is key to delivering successful outcomes for children and young people."
