What a great piece of work! Falls - and the fear of falling - can have a huge impact on the lives of children & adults with #DCD #dyspraxia but is rarely considered in falls guidance. That needs to change! Thanks @JohnnyParr for steering this excellent project.
Big thanks to the team (on Twitter) who put this together!
