Injury Awareness Week 2026 will run from 22 to 26 June

When one person suffers an injury, the impact does not stop there.

An injury travels. It ripples through the family and out the other side into the wider orbit of that person, to their workplace, their immediate social circle, and beyond. More than 430,000 people were injured by negligence last year in the UK, including at work, on the roads, in public spaces, and during medical treatment. For each one of those injured people, there are several people around them picking up the pieces and feeling the knock-on effect of negligence.

It is something we must all care about. Negligence could happen to anyone and it could happen to you. That is why the needs of injured victims of negligence must be at the heart of policymaking.

To stay up to date, keep an eye on this page and follow APIL’s X, Instagram, Bluesky and LinkedIn channels, as well as the dedicated Injury Awareness Facebook page. We will need lots of support to get these messages through to the public, so please share the date with your own followers.

We encourage all organisations and individuals to help to raise awareness of needless injuries and their impact. Don't forget to use the hashtag #IAWeek2026 so we can see all your contributions. 

Members will be kept updated through Weekly News.
