Understanding Childhood Acquired Brain Injury - Schools Survey

What is the purpose of the study?

We are conducting a UK-wide survey to explore educators’ understanding of the consequences associated with childhood brain injury along with the challenges children face in their learning/ education following an ABI. This study also aims to identify what (if any) type of training or learning that educator’s may have undertaken about acquired brain injury either during or prior to their role in education.

Who can participate in this survey?

Participants need to be 18 years of age and over, working in an educational role (e.g., teacher, teaching assistant) in an educational setting in the UK (Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England). Participants need to be working in one of the following educational settings - primary, secondary, sixth form or college and therefore supporting children and young people up to the age of 18 years.

How long does the survey take and can participants withdraw?

The survey can be completed online and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participants can withdraw from the survey at any point by closing their browser. If a participant changes their mind after they have participated, they can withdraw their data from the study by emailing ABIWales@UKABIF.org.uk within two weeks by providing their unique identifier (generated during survey completion).

Who are the team behind this needed research?

This research is being conducted by the School of Psychology, Swansea University, Child Brain Injury Trust (CBIT), United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum (UKABIF) and National Acquired Brain Injury in Learning and Education Syndicate (N-ABLES).
