Petition to teach epilepsy in PSHE lessons in schools

As of 2020 First Aid will be taught in schools, that’s in PSHE lessons. They will learn about seizures and the recovery position as part of First Aid, BUT they won’t be taught anything specifically about epilepsy!

It’s time we taught school children what epilepsy actually is, what causes it, who can get epilepsy (the ins and out of epilepsy basically). Please sign my petition and help make this a reality. Teaching = understanding = smashing the stigma! #epilepsyPSHE

Thank you!! Please share this with your family & friends 💜
