As the clocks go back and visibility decreases, GloWeek 2026 reminds us of the vital role road safety plays in protecting children. While simple steps such as wearing bright and reflective clothing can help prevent accidents, the consequences of a serious road traffic collision can be life-changing. We explore the lasting impact of childhood brain injuries, the support available to affected families, and how legal advice can help secure rehabilitation and long-term care.
