About this booklet
Legislation protects you from being treated unfairly at work because of cancer. This booklet explains what it means to be discriminated against because you have cancer, and how the law can protect you. Legislation does not just protect employees. It also protects people applying for jobs and, in some cases, people who are self-employed.
