Our branch is delighted that as a result of our efforts, the University of Kent yesterday became the first university in the UK to commit itself to the TUC Dying to Work Charter. The Charter commits the University to “support, protect and enable” an employee with a diagnosis of terminal illness who chooses to remain in work, where it is reasonable to do so.
