Hi Steven,
I have no experience of this type of non epileptic attack disorder but my initial thoughts would be that a school still needs to have a clear plan about how they manage the seizures regardless of the cause. Our healthcare plans detail how the  school implement the medical advice, outlining who does what, where, when etc. so staff are aware of their roles and responsibilities in managing the seizures and keeping the pupil as safe as possible. Hope this helps.

I have a 4year old on my case load with these seizures who requires oxygen to be kept in school to help him come round and my own son had what was called Pallid attacks from 18 months to 5 years. They vary in length and can be very distressing for someone caring for the child. I would advise having a health care plan with specific advice for adults working with the child. I suggest medical reports are kept with the plan so that if an ambulance is called they can quickly see the diagnosis.
My own son grew out of them by the time he was six but I think this varies.
best wishes
Pauline

Hi Steven,
I have had a number of young people - mainly girls at secondary school, on my caselaod. There is usually no care plan but I have supported schools with a very detailed risk assessment which includes triggers, symptoms and a plan of how to manage during an episode. It's usually a case of getting as much medical information if there is a specialist involved or sitting with parents and devopling a writtten plan.
If you send me an email on gurby.sandhu@durham.gov.uk I can forward you copies of the risk assessments that I have developed.

We have a child with a diagnosis of Epilepsy who was having frequent seizures. The medics started to say they wenrt all epileptic and I held a meeting to get his medical team to come up with a care plan for us to follow. Mum also involved and all signed off on it.
