Does anyone know where to buy online (PayPal preferred) in the UK (or posts to the UK) ?

We use a helmet for self injurious behaviours (like head banging with hands or on walls floor)
Our current one is realy taking a beating it realy needs replaced fast (starting to seriously become un usable) we have contacted professionals they just won't listen (were still asking for respite and much needed OT and 19 yrs old)

Thanks

Look for those marketed for Epilepsy, as that seems to be the bigger market, a few Epilepsy charities have lists of suppliers on their websites.

Not sure, but I would advise you do not wear a helmet in public, same with so called ear defenders. People will think very low of you.

If it is in private then, maybe one of those soft helmets for special needs people, but you should also just stop this self injury.

If you really can't control your impulses even in public, then yes I would say a helmet would be better.
