The item started at 15.12

To propose that the Senedd:
1. Notes:
a) the impact that migraine has on the 1 in 10 children and young people who live with it, including at school and their day-to-day lives;
b) that young people who are affected often report that migraine makes it harder to do their schoolwork, meaning that without proper support, the condition can impact their educational attainment, as well as disrupt their family and social life;
c) that research by the Migraine Trust suggests that education and health professionals often do not understand migraine, or have access to training and resources to effectively support children and young people who are impacted;
2. Calls on the Welsh Government to work with The Migraine Trust and representative bodies for schools, health services, and parents/carers to:
a) strengthen guidance;
b) provide training on how to support and accommodate young people impacted by migraine; and
c) provide resources for the parents/carers of children living with migraine and for the young people themselves on how to take control of their own care.
