Epilepsy affects approximately 112,000 individuals under 18 in the UK, with 1 in every 220 children diagnosed with this condition. As many as 70% of people with epilepsy could live seizure-free with proper diagnosis and treatment (Source: WHO).

It is crucial for school staff to have up-to-date knowledge of epilepsy and seizures to support students effectively and ensure their safety and well-being.

This course is designed to equip school staff with the essential knowledge and skills needed to support students with epilepsy. It covers the latest treatments, seizure management, and best practices for creating a safe and supportive school environment.
