After the Crash in 2023

Here's some information about what happened at the conference last year to whet your appetite...

On Tuesday 20 June 2023, Brake held its inaugural ‘After the Crash' conference to showcase excellence in post-crash care.

Nearly 190 people representing the police, emergency services, charities that support injured road victims or bereaved adults or children, trauma counsellors and therapists, gathered at the conference in Manchester to share knowledge and agree the next steps to ensure that people affected injured by road crashes receive the expert support they need.

Commander Kyle Gordon opened the conference with a powerful reminder that five people die on UK roads every day, reinforcing the message that road safety must be treated as seriously as murder and terrorism.

Bereaved road victims Meera Naran MBE and Sharron Huddleston talked about their children Dev and Caitlin who were tragically killed in road crashes and gave a first-hand account of their experience in the immediate aftermath.

After the Crash 2024 is organised by Brake, the road safety charity. Brake runs the National Road Victim Service, which supports hundreds of families every year who have been bereaved or seriously injured in road crashes.
