Peer support

Pupils should be encouraged to gain understanding of epilepsy in order to support fellow pupils with the condition. This could be done during a general health awareness or Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) session. Information suitable for pupils and sample lesson plans are available from Epilepsy Action. Download lesson plans and resources
