Anti-Bullying Week: Understanding the Legal and Cultural Risks
Emmanuelle Ries
World Cerebral Palsy (CP) Day recently took place on 5 October 2016. To mark the occasion, members of the Kingsley Napley Clinical Negligence team attended an event hosted by the London Centre for Children with Cerebral Palsy (a World CP day partner).
Kingsley Napley, was asked to speak at an event on 15 September 2016 for the LCCCP “Milkshake Tree appeal”, an ambitious project to develop exciting new facilities and services at the Centre, which provides education and support for early years and primary school age children, using methods based in conductive education. The Centre’s goal is for every child to have the opportunity to reach their potential.
On 29 June 2016 we enjoyed a visit to “The Milkshake Tree”, an experiential pop-up exhibit inspired by children from the London Centre for Children with Cerebral Palsy (LCCCP).
For many children and adults there is no connection between their cerebral palsy and the circumstances of their birth. For others there is a direct causal link, and for them, their injury may have been avoidable.
Some birth injuries can be anticipated and with prompt and appropriate action serious injuries can sometimes be avoided. If a birth injury is sustained through lack of appropriate care it may be possible to make a clinical negligence claim for compensation.
The focus of this blog is Jaundice and Kernicterus and it is the third in our series of six birth injury blogs.
