Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain and the nervous system and is covered by the Equality Act 2010. It can affect the person for all of their life, or just a portion of it. This course is ideal for people who work in the care or education sector with children or adults. Did you know that there are around 40 different types of seizures? Statistics show that 1 in 5 people will have a seizure at some time in their lifetime although only some of these will be caused by epilepsy.
