Erbs Palsy Awareness Month (OCTOBER) 2026

DJW Talent Company Founders Daniel-John Williams and Emma Louise Teasdale are proud parents to Maddie-Bee Darling Williams who sustained an avoidable birth injury in 2016.

Erbs Palsy is a brachial plexus injury, sustained during birth, which can be avoided if those delivering the baby, had taken correct steps.

A staggering 1 in 1,000 babies will be affected and sadly not enough is being done to change the outcome for parents and babies. It is a life long disability meaning some will need operations, intervention and pain management or adaptions.

The Erbs Palsy Group do wonderful fundraising events and offer training to midwives to try and lower the numbers of those who sustain the injury.

Tozers Law Firm are responsible for fighting on behalf of families with an incredible success rate. The team at Tozers are knowledgeable, friendly, understanding and compassionate.

We hope to see the numbers lower to NIL, which is not an impossible ask.

Thank you to everyone who has shown supoport over the years. Maddie-Bee is thriving, but we still have a long way to go.
