Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv) - Impact of migraine on children and young people
NDM8074 Mark Isherwood (North Wales)
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.
