1 in 3 children with epilepsy are let down by inadequate support at school

“Support has been shocking. Children have triggered seizures in him with no consequence. School had no care plan in place despite being informed of his condition 3 years ago” (Parent)

“Members of staff had no idea how to cope with seizures. Some even accused him of faking it, others thought it was disruptive and an inconvenience” (Parent)

Sadly, too many children with epilepsy are still not fully included in education. Many teachers and professionals do not have the necessary training to confidently support these young people. Children with epilepsy are still missing out.

Together we can change that. We believe in empowering schools to empower children. Sign your name and help children get the support they need.
