"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."

"Thousands of children and young people living in the UK today without the help and support that can make a huge difference to their lives"

"Case management for children and young people post acquired brain injury is 'pivotal' to successful outcomes and must be local"

"Pediatric neuro-rehabilitation cannot be delivered in isolation. The needs of the child have to be looked at both holistically and within the context of the family unit. Parents need to be empowered to be parents in post-acute pediatric neuro-rehabilitation following brain injury"

"Too often children and young people with ABI are discharged from hospital without specialist brain support that they and their families need to overcome lifelong challenges"

"We would like to see earlier identification and support for children with brain injuries to help them succeed in school."

"Taking brain injured children home causes high stress for families. Disjointed services exacerbate family stress levels."

"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"
