Free assembly plan - epilepsy awareness

It's National Epilepsy Week 20-26 May, and the Epilepsy Society, the UK's leading charity for epilepsy research and support, has put together a free, interactive resource for schools to raise awareness.

The pack includes an assembly plan aimed at Key Stage 2 and explores some exciting facts about the brain, what causes a seizure and how to help someone who is having a convulsive seizure. There is a powerpoint and detailed script/guide for the person delivering the assembly.

Poster competition

The Epilepsy Society is also running a nationwide poster competition for pupils to design a poster about Seizure First Aid. The winning pupil will receive a £25 voucher and £100 for their school's science department.

1 in 20 people will have a seizure at some point in their lives so to provide children with advice on how to safely help someone could make a real difference.
