Assessment of your safety needs
You can ask your local social services for a health and social care assessment sometimes called a 'needs assessment', which looks at your safety at home. Assessments are often carried out by an occupational therapist (OT). They will visit you at home to see what help, support or safety equipment you might need because of your epilepsy. The assessment can help to identify practical ideas for reducing risk to make situations safer. Your GP or specialist may be able to provide information about how your epilepsy could affect your safety at home. You can apply directly to your local council or your GP can refer you.
