Charlie has drug-resistant epilepsy and cannot advocate for himself. Despite clear medical guidance, his school removed his supports, leaving him at serious risk. Safe At School Ontario exists to make sure no child faces the same danger
We envision Ontario schools where every child with epilepsy can learn safely, without fear. Policies are clear, supervision is consistent, and tragedies like Landyn Ferris’s death are prevented.
We believe change begins with clarity and accountability. A single, enforceable PPM 161 policy with clear protections ensures every school in Ontario knows its responsibilities. This approach reduces confusion, prevents medical neglect, and keeps children safe.
Safe At School Ontario is parent-led and grassroots. We engage families, medical experts, and policymakers to create practical, enforceable policies. We believe early, proactive engagement is key to protecting children.
Safe At School Ontario is a parent-led initiative, driven by lived experience. My son, Charlie, has drug-resistant epilepsy and cannot self-advocate — yet his school supports were removed despite clear medical recommendations. Families like ours are why these changes are urgent.
