Our family have been through a lot due to epilepsy. We want the government to change the law so that anyone working in a child or vulnerable adult care setting goes through seizure training as part of their training, before starting the job.

Currently there is no requirement for all staff to receive seizure‑specific training and many settings provide little or no training. We are concerned that this puts children and adults who suffer from seizures at risk. Seizures can be extremely dangerous. Simple training at the start of a new job could save lives. We are asking for this to be mandatory for all nursery, school and care setting staff.
