NEW - Epilepsy in School DVD
Brainwave and three other charities have come together to produce a new resource pack for schools on the management of chronic health conditions. Available for download below.
With the support of the INTO, the pack includes a 9 minute DVD on managing each condition at school. When a teacher is informed that a student with one of these conditions will be in their class, as a first step, they should take the time to view the relevant DVD.
