The Brain Injury Identity Card has been developed as part of Headway’s Justice Programme, which aims to:
- Raise awareness of brain injury throughout the criminal justice system
- Improve brain injury identification
- Ensure people with brain injuries in contact with the criminal justice system are treated appropriately and provided with the support they need
- Provide brain injury survivors with access to specialist legal advice and representation
- Divert people with brain injuries away from the criminal justice system where appropriate
Since its launch by Prince Harry in 2017, Headway’s Brain Injury Identity Card has gone from strength to strength.
The need for the card has never been greater. In a survey for our See the Hidden Me campaign, more than three-quarters of brain injury survivors experienced problems on a daily basis as a result of their brain injury being hidden.
