Welcome to the education section of our website. We hope you will find information and resources to help with all aspects of education, whether you are a member of teaching staff, a parent or carer or a student wanting more information.
Information found throughout this section could help with questions such as:
- A child in my class has epilepsy what can I do to make sure they are fully involved in learning?
- What do we do if a student needs to have medicines given during the school day?
- How can/should the school help my child?
- What help is my child entitled to?
- What is a Special Educational Needs (SEN) statement?
- I’m going to university and moving away from home what do I need to do?
- What support could I expect at university?
Epilepsy Action has many resources for parents/carers and teachers of children with epilepsy, you can access most of this information online through our advice and information pages. If you can’t find what you are looking for or need more information then please do not hesitate to get in contact either by email education@epilepsy.org.uk or phone our Epilepsy Helpline freephone 0808 800 5050.
