Press Release August 2022<\/span>

Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) awarded (Aug 2022) for UK child on the basis of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS).<\/span><\/h2>\n

Statements from parents, child and excerpts from 3 Tribunal Hearings included below:<\/span><\/p>\n

Parents have now won a 5 year legal battle against 2 local authorities to have their child accommodated in school for EHS. They won in the Upper Tribunal, thus the ruling is also precedent setting. We believe this is the first case in the world where a government body is legally mandated to make low EMF educational provisions to accommodate a child with EHS.<\/span><\/p>\n

The family wishes to protect the anonymity of their child, however they (and their child) hope that the ruling may begin to facilitate a better future for other children and adults with EHS:<\/span><\/p>\n

The parents share, \u201cGoing through this process has opened our eyes to some shocking truths regarding the ways in which families can be treated within the current system. We recognised that it would not be easy to navigate such novel and politically charged territory, but the bar was elevated to a higher degree than even we anticipated. Our daughter was put through misery that no child should have to go through. Nonetheless, finally justice has been served and we hope that our\u00a0<\/span>daughter can move forward with her education whilst also being allowed a healthy environment. We are proud of how optimistic she has remained. We are aware that currently other children with EHS in the UK are unable to access school and some of them are profoundly isolated given that even home schooling groups can be inaccessible to them due to prolific use of Wi-fi and mobile phones in the community. Legal recognition that some children can be adversely affected by these exposures in a serious and debilitating way, is the first step to making schools healthier for all pupils in our digital age and allowing equal opportunities for those who are acutely affected\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The school girl wanted to share her thoughts with other children who have EHS, \u201cI am a 13 year old girl with EHS. I have headaches, insomnia and other symptoms sometimes when exposed to WiFi or other kinds of EMF (electromagnetic fields). These can become very severe. If you are reading this, you may experience these symptoms yourself, you may recognise them and are perhaps starting to think you may have this condition, or maybe you are doubtful it even exists. Maybe I would be too, if I hadn\u2019t felt the effects firsthand. EHS has dramatically affected my life, but maybe not in the ways you might think. Of course there are places I can\u2019t go, or things I don\u2019t have, but I live a very \u201cnormal\u201d life in most ways. I can message my friends through email or Skype on a hardwired system as long as I don\u2019t spend too long and I can go to school now that I have one without Wi-fi and mobile phones. Some people have more severe EHS and can\u2019t do these things that most take for granted.<\/span><\/p>\n

I appreciate how much they suffer, but believe that even those people, can recover in a low EMF\u00a0environment. I can feel things and sense things most people can\u2019t. This has protected my health, and I like to think of it as a superpower. Of course sometimes, when I can\u2019t sleep, or can\u2019t go to school, it doesn\u2019t feel like that, but in my stronger states, I recognise that it is kind of amazing. I have previously been unable to go to school, as the school I went to put in WiFi, but people fought for me, comforted me, and welcomed me, despite how weird or crazy our situation may have been. These people were my family, my friends, teachers and sometimes near strangers, and they didn\u2019t just fight for me, but for anyone and everyone with EHS. They are the people we need more of, those with open minds and hearts. Thank you, to all of them. If you have EHS, and are struggling to stay in good health, or can\u2019t go to school, or work, don\u2019t give up, because everything will get better. People are becoming more aware of this condition, and even if right now it seems like nothing will ever\u00a0<\/span><\/span>change, it already is\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
