Has anyone had any experience dealing with redundancy and consultations while undergoing cancer treatment? Any recommendations regarding employment lawyers who have been involved in negotiations and settlements?
Hi there. I am really sorry you are dealing with this on top of having treatment.
I’m not an expert, but do know that cancer is covered by the Disability Act, so it might be worth exploring further, perhaps with the help of legal advice.
I hope you manage to get the result you are hoping for.
Thank you, Jaygo. It has been difficult. Yes I’m aware re. disability. I am not the only person selected so it’s seems there is little I can do apart from go through with negotiations and potentially get a better deal.

It may be worth contacting ACAS. They offer free advice and are excellent.

You could try MacMillan as well as ACAS they do give advice and help about employment . You may not think you are being discriminated again at because of your cancer and perhaps that really is the case but best to be sure . I imagine if you are in a union you will have contacted them already . Sorry you are having to deal with this on top of everything else. Xx

Thank you! It’s crappy but keeping perspective is helping me get through it. Have called Macmillian and ACAS - they are brilliant as always but seems I get bounced back to seek lawyers.

The only other thing I can think of is perhaps Citizens Advice Bureau . I have heard that every person is entitled to 15 free minutes of legal advice in their life - my Mum used this to get advice once I think it was something to do with pensions but that’s a long time ago . I hope you find someone xx
