Epilepsy Action Edwards 2011

Epilepsy Action is on the hunt again for education establishments who provide a good supportive learning environment to pupils or students with epilepsy.

We want to reward those establishments we believe are going that extra mile to make sure pupils or students with epilepsy have a good learning experience. It could be training all members of staff, holding an assembly to dispel any myths, or a peer-to-peer network to support pupils with epilepsy. Other possible criteria are listed here but this is not exhaustive. We want to hear about other innovative examples as well.

Winners announced, May 2011

Our panel of judges have chosen eight schools that we think stand out from the rest and deserve special recognition for their efforts. They will be presented with their Edward during National Epilepsy Week 2011.
