This is the video used within the campaign :)

Remember ACTION for tonic-clonic seizures:

	Assess Assess the situation – are they in danger of injuring themselves? Remove any nearby objects that could cause injury
	Cushion Cushion their head (with a jumper, for example) to protect them from head injury
	Time Check the time – if the seizure lasts longer than five minutes you should call an ambulance
	Identity Look for a medical bracelet or ID card – it may give you information about the person’s seizures and what to do
	Over Once the seizure is over, put them on their side (in the recovery position). Stay with them and reassure them as they come round
	Never Never restrain the person, put something in their mouth or try to give them food or drink				For more information: www.epilepsy.org.uk/campaigns
