About the Child Brain Injury Trust (CBIT)
CBIT was established in 1991 by a group of health professionals with the aim of researching and providing information on the effects of ‘traumatic’ injury on a child’s developing brain. Parents of children with acquired brain injury were keen to become actively involved in the development the charity and over time the emphasis on the work changed.
CBIT works across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and has a dedicated team of professional staff and volunteers who provide expertise, commitment and energy every day.
The Vision of the CBIT
“A future where all children and young people with an acquired brain injury are diagnosed promptly and receive the support they and their families need to reach their full potential and to have the best quality of life possible”
