How our service can help you
We see children and young people with an acquired brain injury up to the age of 16 (or 19 if they are still in education). Our vision is for the young person and the family to receive the best possible experience and achieve the best possible outcomes. We provide:
- Interdisciplinary neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation within the young persons environment.
- A collaborative Intervention plan to support the young person's particular needs and goals.
- Focus on cognitive (thinking skills), physical, emotional, communication and social needs, as well as life skills.
- Liaison with schools and community, health and social care services
- Training packages focused on supporting the particular needs of children and young people with brain injury.
- Recommendations for Behavioural support and strategies for managing tasks and activities
- Psychological intervention for children and families. We aim to help everyone make the most of their own skills and resources.

Referral Information
-
We accept referrals from health and social care teams (e.g. GPs, consultants, paediatricians, social workers) as well as any other agency working with the young person such as case managers and solicitors via personal injury claims. If the child does not live within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, and requires an NHS referral, we can apply for funding from their local funding body. Please note, this may take some time to complete and is not always successful.

Carers Information
-
A carer is anyone, including children and adults who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid.
At Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, we value the often life-long support carers provide and recognise them as equal care partners. We want to offer as much guidance and reassurance as possible, to help you in your caring role. You can find general information and support for adult carers, young carers and parent carers by following this link.
