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.
Please don't answer this if you feel it's imposing, but I was wondering what sort of precautionary measures you've taken in the room to help in the event of a seizure ?
