BISWG Ltd is not able to provide assistance/guidance with individual cases to members.
It is a group principally for Social Workers (though we welcome other professionals working in this field)
Its aim is to provide an information and networking resource for its members.
All members of the committee have employment in the brain injury field and their work with BISWG Ltd is voluntary in addition to this.
