Training sessions about ‘work and cancer’ are run on a bespoke basis depending on an organisation’s needs.

Some companies choose to arrange 60 minute or 90 minute ‘Lunch and Learn’ sessions for their line managers and their HR teams; others prefer to run longer, half-day sessions, or to make them part of wider briefings on health and wellbeing, or employment law.

Typically sessions on work and cancer will cover:

• An overview of working with cancer
• Legal framework – Equality Act
• Talking to an employee and their colleagues about cancer
• Making reasonable adjustments
• Managing an employee’s return to work
• Dealing with bereavement
• Supporting a carer for someone with cancer

The sessions use video materials and interactive case studies developed in association with Macmillan Cancer Support.
