Below you can find our key campaign messaging to use alongside the above graphics.


Every child with epilepsy deserves to be safe and included at school.

Children left feeling lonely, isolated and rejected. Unnecessarily excluded from opportunities at school and struggling to keep up with their classmates.

Shockingly, 1 in 3 children with epilepsy, are left without the crucial support they need at school. 

Enough is enough! It's time for action. Together, let's demand change. Every child deserves an equal chance to succeed. Understand their epilepsy and help them reach their potential.


Children are being blocked from things they are capable of doing and are missing out on their childhood. Let down by a lack of understanding about epilepsy and how it can be different for everyone.  

Seizures missed or mistaken for not paying attention. School staff unaware of what to do when a seizure happens. Children unnecessarily excluded from learning, sports and trips. 

Tell UK governments that they must ensure schools have an Individual Healthcare Plan (IHP) in place for every child with epilepsy.

IHPs are a lifeline. They help school staff understand each child’s epilepsy, ensure their safety, and pave the way for full inclusion in every school activity.

Understanding someone with epilepsy means understanding their seizure type, their triggers, their medication side-effects, the impact on their learning. Understand their epilepsy and support them to be safe and included at school.


Let's make it happen. Sign the petition. Tell UK governments that children with epilepsy must be included fully in school life.
