What to do if someone has a seizure (fit)

If you see someone having a seizure or fit, there are some simple things you can do to help.
It might be scary to witness, but do not panic.
If you're with someone having a seizure:

only move them if they're in danger, such as near a busy road or hot cooker
cushion their head if they're on the ground
loosen any tight clothing around their neck, such as a collar or tie, to aid breathing
turn them on to their side after their convulsions stop – read more about the recovery position
stay with them and talk to them calmly until they recover
