West Lothian College for their work in supporting people with epilepsy

West Lothian College has been awarded the Epilepsy Friendly status thanks to efforts from staff.

The award from Epilepsy Scotland comes from the hard work and continued support from staff to students and visitors to the college who have epilepsy.

Representatives from Epilepsy Scotland came to the campus and delivered epilepsy awareness training to staff and students.

Epilepsy information is now available across the college on notice boards, in the library and in toilets.

Staff have carried out risk assessments, completed care plans and made adjustments in classes.

Health and safety officer Emily Purdie, who led the campaign to achieve Epilepsy Friendly status, said: “I’m delighted that the college has received the Epilepsy Friendly Award. It really shows the hard work, commitment and continued support shown by staff to students who attend the college.”
