Include dealing with epilepsy/seizure in school and workplace first aid guidance

Closed 1,576 signatures

What the petition asks

There isn’t much awareness to fainting/seizures regarding epilepsy. How many of you in the public would know what to do in the event of an individual having an attack? As an epileptic myself I don’t feel that enough people would know what to do in the event of a seizure.
As an epileptic myself, my mum and dad had to witness all my seizures, admitting they had no idea what to do in the early days. I don’t think enough people would know what to do in the event of a seizure, this is my petition to get government guidance to state that epileptic seizure first aid should be part of first aid training.
