Introduction

Around one in 240 children under 16 in the UK has epilepsy. Most children with epilepsy enjoy a full and active life. With a few sensible safety precautions, they are able to do everything that their friends do. Sometimes, however, epilepsy is more complex, and children need specialist help and support.

If you have questions about your child’s epilepsy, these web pages are for you.
