What Are Shaken Baby / Head Injury Allegations?
“Shaken Baby” or “Abusive Head Trauma” allegations arise when an infant shows injuries such as subdural or subarachnoid haemorrhages, retinal haemorrhages, bridging vein injuries, or brain swelling. These findings often lead to Non-Accidental Injury (NAI) or care proceedings. However, medical understanding is evolving, and there is acknowledged uncertainty about how such injuries occur.
