I was contacted through my lymphoedema therapist to see if I could advise someone who is having a very difficult time in the workplace. She is fit to work, wants to work and her manager doesn't want her to. I found the fact sheet for employees very helpful in providing information (and very precise language) about what is not acceptable and some sensible suggestions about what to do. I was lucky and although I didn't need much at work while having treatment, I could have certainly asked for and got a great deal of flexibility, so I find it quite shocking when people who need very little in the way of minor accommodations to manage their treatment requirements, get pushed around or pushed out. Many thanks BCNA.
