Research
One of the aims of BACD is “to encourage debate and promote research into the many outstanding questions in childhood disability”.
In 2008, the Strategic Research Group (SRG) was formed with the aims:
- To identify and encourage high quality clinical research in childhood disability in Britain; in particular collaborative multi-disciplinary projects
- To encourage and assist people in the field , including families, young people and clinicians, to identify research priorities
- To facilitate and support the development of major research applications to Wellcome, Medical Research Council, National Institute for Health Research and national charitable funding bodies
- To encourage and help young clinicians, with research aptitude, to pursue an academic career path

Child Development Team Database
With the help of the RCPCH, BACD has formed a database of the contact details of neurodisability leads for each child development team in the UK. BACD intends the database to be a resource which allows clinicians to undertake research, audit and activities which help us bring about improvements in the interests of children with neurodisability, their families and clinicians. The database is an important resource and will be used sparingly. For more information visit click here.
