What happens to the brain within the skull in a head injury?

"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"

"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"

"Brain development is complex and prolonged. Brain plasticity is influenced by a range of factors. Plasticity provides a base for neuro-rehab therapies and treatment"

"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"

"When someone has a brain injury, early access to local, specialist rehabilitation is crucial to ensure the maximum recovery and make significant savings to the state in health costs"

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

"There are problems with getting people into neuro-rehab. Those most in need are often those most excluded due to a lack of socio-economic resources."

"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"

"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."
