Introduction

This section of the guide explains some of the medical needs that children and young people with epilepsy may have, and the support they may need at school. For example, a pupil may need first aid if they have a seizure, or a place to recover afterwards. Schools may need to have safe places to store medicines, and trained members of staff to administer them. As a parents or carer of a child with epilepsy, you should speak to someone at the school if you are concerned about your child’s health and wellbeing. Written school policies and individual healthcare plans can help.
