This study arose from a senior politician saying to us “I know that people with epilepsy are not counted in schools and I know that they have a wide range of cognitive and behavioural problems but you have to do something that brings this to everyone’s attention”.

The report provides key findings which look beyond the often-quoted statistics, to identify the real barriers and enablers to providing better care. In its key recommendations, it provides a proposed set of shared goals towards the aim of improving epilepsy services for children and young people. Policy-makers and commissioners must take these recommendations and work together - in collaboration with professionals and with children, young people and their parents - in order to achieve lasting and transformational change. It is only through this process that the type of service that children and young people with epilepsy deserve can be delivered.
