We produce our head protection range for toddlers, children and adults. We can even produce “custom” models to fit your needs exactly!

Those suffering from epilepsy are at a greater risk of traumatic head injuries due to losing control during seizures.

Protecting your loved ones from head injuries should be a top priority for you and any healthcare professionals involved. We have a range of head protectors that can help, from our “standard” HP1 to our flexible HP5 models. Designed to protect against injury during epileptic seizures, falls, self-harm & more. Some of our models include additional “add-on” protection that can be added to the front or rear of the helmet if needed. We offer these different models of protective helmets, which can be chosen depending on the severity of the condition or risk of harm. Our range helps you take the right steps early to mitigate the risk of harm & additional trauma during seizures.

Some of our other head protectors:

The HP-S Sleep Head Protection

We provide our sleep protection model (HPS) to avoid harm at night-time. It is made of super-soft brushed leather on the outside. It also has an even softer perforated breathable leather liner. The HP-S is surprisingly light and offers a very comfortable sleeping experience. For added protection (and to ensure the helmet stays on during sleep). The HP-S includes a super-soft chin strap with the added option of a protective chin protector.

The HP-A Aqua Head Protection

80% of accidents at home happen in the bathroom! And for those who have medical conditions, this percentage is higher. This is why the HP-A Aqua Head Protection was designed and manufactured. Made with a soft neoprene outer that is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and resistant to chemicals. The Aqua Head Protection is perfect for bath or shower times, hydrotherapy and swimming.

VAT Relief for the Disabled

What is VAT relief?

We have compiled this small guide to help you understand who is and who isn’t eligible to claim VAT relief on disability aids available to buy on this website. VAT relief allows chronically ill or disabled people to buy eligible items at 0% tax rather than the current standard rate of  VAT – saving them a significant amount of money.

Who is eligible for VAT relief?

To be eligible for VAT relief the government says that you have to fit the following criteria:

  • Charities – simply provide us with your charity number.
  • A person is ‘chronically sick or disabled’ if they are a person:
    • With a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect upon their ability to carry out everyday activities; with a condition that the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness, such as diabetes; or who is terminally ill.
  • Important to note: It does NOT include a frail elderly person who is otherwise able-bodied or any person who is only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as with a broken limb.

What proof do we need to provide?

The government requires a simple declaration to be made as to the nature of your disability at the time of order in order to waive VAT on an eligible purchase. No proof of your disability need be shown to any party at any time. It is easy to claim VAT relief, all we need to know is the full name, full address and what their chronic sickness or disability is. We do not need a doctor’s letter or any reference numbers as long as we have the requested details.

The above information can be provided to us during the checkout. If you order online, by phone or by post we will send you a form and a free return envelope asking you for the above information and a signature.

Displayed prices

If you see a small purple banner or text link with the words, “VAT relief available” or a price shown with “with VAT relief” after it, then VAT relief can be claimed on that particular item.

Things to remember

  • We do NOT decide if an item is or isn’t exempt and we don’t make any more or less money if we charge you VAT or we don’t charge you VAT
  • The details you provide are private and strictly confidential. They can only be viewed on our secure private company network and will be made securely available to the UK Government HMRC should they request any clarification on your purchase.
  • If you do not complete the VAT relief form, or you are not eligible for VAT relief, we are obliged to charge you the full prevailing VAT on the whole of your order
  • Not all products are eligible for VAT relief, so we are obliged to charge VAT at the prevailing rate for those products that are not VAT exempt, even after you complete this form
  • Visit gov.uk/financial-help-disabled/vat-relief for more information. That also has links to other financial help if you are disabled
