Nominate for an Edward education award
For this, we’re asking people to nominate an outstanding local nursery, school, college or university for an Edward education award. In the UK, epilepsy affects an estimated 63,400 children and young people aged under 18 and up to half underachieve academically.
Previous Edward winners have trained staff and pupils in first aid, held myth-busting assemblies and introduced buddy systems for children with epilepsy. All these things help ensure children and young people receive the best support. They also promote awareness and understanding to enhance a pupil’s daily life.
