Supporting a child with Dravet Syndrome – a guide for Teachers and TAs

This activity/material has been made possible through an independent grant from Lundbeck Ltd. Lundbeck Ltd has had no role in the development, content or delivery of the material.

Following feedback from families, we are delighted to launch a resource pack (which includes these handy guides) for teachers and their teams supporting children at school who are living with Dravet Syndrome. The aim of the resource pack is to help create a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment where your child can thrive at school.

The resource pack

These packs are intended to be provided in hard copy (printed) format but you can see a preview of the guides included by clicking on the download links. The resource pack includes printed versions of the following guides:

  • Supporting a child with Dravet Syndrome – a guide for Teachers and TAs (preview on the download link on this page)
  • Handy Tips for Teachers and TAs supporting children with Dravet Syndrome (preview on the download link on this page)
  • a full family guide

Plus:

  • a special Dravet Syndrome UK bum bag –  a vital resource for the dedicated staff member to safely carry the child’s emergency medication, ensuring it is always immediately accessible, wherever the child is on the school grounds.
