Information about Epilepsy - for parents and carers

Learning that someone you care for has epilepsy can be upsetting and feel daunting. It can be difficult for you to feel confident leaving your child with a carer other than yourself.

You may feel that there's so much to remember to tell people about a child's epilepsy and it can be worrying to think you may have forgotten something.

The teacher information and babysitter information resources provide you with a form that you can give to any of your child's carers which explains about their seizures and what they should do if your child has a seizure while in their care.

These simple forms will act as a prompt, allowing you to list the most relevant information that a carer will require, ensuring you don't forget anything important.
