Parents and students are being asked to submit their nominations for the 2012 Edwards, which recognise educational establishments that demonstrate good practice in supporting pupils and students with epilepsy.
Leanne Creighton, of organisers Epilepsy Action, says that the charity is keen to reward those schools and colleges which are going the extra mile to improve the learning experience of students with epilepsy. “This could be anything from training for staff, to risk assessments and good communication with parents”, she says. “We hope to see nominations from a wide spectrum of educational establishments.”
