Understanding Childhood Acquired Brain Injury
An Introduction for Professionals
You might think you don’t know any children with an acquired brain injury but because its impact is often hidden, how can you be sure?
Our ‘Understanding Childhood Acquired Brain Injury’ workshop for professionals offers a no-nonsense, jargon- free approach to help you understand the impact of ABI on children, young people, and families.

About the course
This full-day, CPD-accredited workshop is ideal for anyone working with children across education, healthcare, community, voluntary, and private sectors.
Awareness and understanding of ABI is not typically covered in standard professional training - even for those working with children who have additional or complex needs! This workshop aims to address that gap by providing a deeper understanding of how ABI can affect day-to-day life for both the individual and their family.
By attending, you will gain practical insights, real-world strategies, and useful resources to build confidence in supporting children and families affected by childhood ABI.
