CBIT recognises the links between youth offending and young people who have acquired a brain injury.
Children with an acquired brain injury have a higher liklehood of being excluded from school. Young poeple who are excluded from school have a higher likelhood of entering the Youth Offending Service.
Adult research shows that up to 50% of the adult prison population has some kind of acquired brain injury - why should children be any any different?
Here are just a few comments from delegates who have attended this NEW workshop.
