The only problem I see with epilepsy if the fear of not knowing how to deal with it or namely a fit.
If everyone knows what a fit is, what form it takes and how to cope during one .. things should be fine.. I can see how awareness & complete exposure to everything epilepsy would help staff/management to overcome any worries they may have.
Is everything set for you to call parents and collect if after recovery the Child is too exhausted to stay ?

Yes every thing is in place to contact the child's parents. I have dealt with epilepsy fits before as my husband suffers from them following a Brain Haemorrhage, which left him with hydrocephalus, through the frequent brain ops. he now has epilepsy, so it's not that i don't feel confident to deal with it.
I also felt like you that I would be discriminating against the child, if i didn't allow them to attend on the days following a fit. It was actually one of my colleagues that brought up, the fact that perhaps we shouldn't allow the child to attend so i thought i see what others thought, if they were dealing with the same situation. Two more members of staff are also about to do the training to administer the medication that way we should all be able to support each other, even if one of us are on training or sick.
