Epileptic Fits

Hi everyone

Looking for some advice on what you would do in if presented with this situation.

If you had a child attending your setting who was diagnosed with Epilepsy, they are on medication, but the fits are not under control and are known to be quite prolonged lasting up to 20 min.
I have been trained to administer a muscle relaxing medication called Buccal Midazolam, which should be given if the fit lasts for more than 5 min. The child is only allowed one doze of this medication in 24 hours. If the child has had a fit at home before coming to group and the medication has been administered by the parents, which means, if the child has another fit during the session I won't be able to administer any more would you allow the child to stay or advice mum to keep them at home. therefore covering your own back. At the moment i am allowing the child to attend although concerned

I look forward to hearing your point of view
