Quality statement 8 (placeholder): Post‑acute phase rehabilitation for children and young people

What is a placeholder statement?

A placeholder statement is an area of care that has been prioritised by the quality standards advisory committee but for which no source guidance is currently available. A placeholder statement indicates the need for evidence-based guidance to be developed in this area.

Rationale

Rehabilitation services in the post‑acute phase can be important in helping children and young people (aged under 16) who have had a traumatic brain injury regain independence and return to their normal daily lives (for example, continuing their education). The services can also provide information and advice to families and carers.
