Road crashes are a leading cause of #braininjury in young people. Graduated Driving Licences could help reduce these tragedies. I discuss why in my latest blog: tinyurl.com/kphxrank #RoadSafety #YoungDrivers @BBK_ChildABI @BBK_AdultBrain

A year since the publication of the Hughes report with clear recommendations for redress, and still no justice for the victims of the sodium valproate scandal #Hughesreport #compensationforvalproate #valproate #pelvicmesh #patientsafety tinyurl.com/mwsph2j4

Today marks one year since the publication of The Hughes Report. One year on and there is still no justice for victims of sodium valporate. @snassarsimpson from our @BBK_ChildABI team reflects on the report and lack of action in her latest blog: tinyurl.com/mwsph2j4

Building safety concerns have led to dozens of schools in England closing. @JoChapma_n’s blog explains why reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete poses a risk and what actions should be taken bit.ly/3ORSVzS #SchoolClosures #ConcreteSafety #ChildProtection

We’re very proud of our @BBK_ChildABI colleagues for being some of the few brain injury lawyers recommended by @PeepsHie. Peeps is a brilliant charity which provides support to parents, families & friends of those affected by HIE (Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy)

Why are urgent changes to neonatal assessments needed to avoid harm to babies born from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic parents? Read the latest blog from @CHillemand Head of Child Brain Injury @BoltBurdonKemp to find out bit.ly/3K9RPOt #maternitycare #BAME #equality

It’s appalling that mothers themselves have been blamed when things have gone wrong for them or their babies when responsibility lies squarely with systemic failings due to underfunding at East Kent maternity units. bit.ly/3N7UbQ0

“From my perspective, the ENS attempts to address the cause of brain injuries in children at and after birth is positive.” But does the Scheme work well to support the parents of children who have sustained a brain injury? Find out in Laura's blog: bit.ly/3aOyfDC

Why do some of our clients @BBK_ChildABI receive a letter from the NHS Early Notification Scheme and others don’t? My latest blog takes a closer look at the NHS ENS bit.ly/3MrSifh

Our team are launching a new dedicated service for parents who have been referred to the Early Notification Scheme (ENS) to review the circumstances of their child’s birth. To book a place on our ENS Clinic, at no charge, email us at: ENS@boltburdonkemp.co.uk #birth #parents

.@EilishABarry and I had lots of fun in the sun yesterday catching up with other Friends of Attend ABI members. Thank you @faabi_uk for the lovely biscuits and company!
