Government to debate epilepsy in 2017. We all need HM Government help.

What the petition asks

We need MPs help to get epilepsy recognised and recognised in schools. Employers to understand and to place us all in jobs.
To date teachers, employees and the majority of the public fail to recognise what epilepsy is and how to deal with it.

We are normal everyday people who in suffer from an illness. Please give us a chance in life.
