Your rights

There are a number of laws and guidance documents that are important to children with epilepsy and their families. They provide clear guidance on how children should be managed in education, health and care settings. These include:

• The Children and Families Act 2014.
• NICE Clinical Guidance 137: The epilepsies: the diagnosis and management of the epilepsies in adults and children in primary and secondary care.

You can also take a look at our Legal Rights guide which provides information for parents and carers.
