Whickham student questions politicians at Parliament
A Whickham student, who has epilepsy, attended a Question Time-style event at the Houses of Parliament last week. Stephanie Carr, aged 17, was invited to the event by national charity, Epilepsy Action.
The event was organised by an alliance of more than 30 health charities¹. Over 40 school children and young people with different health conditions were given the chance to put their questions about health support at school to a panel of politicians. Currently, support for many health conditions at school is a postcode lottery.
