Epilepsy and Seizures

Communication strategy

Because the diagnosis of epilepsy can be complex and evolving, communication between schools and parents or carers is vital.

A good communication strategy should be encompassed within the student health support plan and would include:

• identification of the key staff member for the parent/carer to liaise with
• regular communication about student’s health, seizure occurrences, learning and development, changes to treatment or medications, or any health or education concerns via communication books, seizure diary, emails or text messages.
