Keep Connected - Meningitis and Education

Following successful pilot events, we are planning future online support events. Please register your interest below and we will keep you updated about future events

Meningitis Now Online Support Events 2020 LB - Education - Megan

Helping children who have had meningitis to achieve their educational potential can be a huge challenge for parents and guardians of school age children.

Learning and behavioural problems can happen after meningitis and they are often associated with an acquired brain injury (ABI) - an injury to the brain after birth.

Our recent coronavirus impact survey and ongoing support work has highlighted some significant concerns for families affected by meningitis, including:

  • accessing the right educational support
  • accessing Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision
  • returning to school after a long period of home-schooling and lockdown restrictions
  • managing the impact of learning difficulties on wider family members

  • what's changed since COVID-19
