A YORK-based schools group is promising protection and support for terminally ill employees.
Excel Learning Trust - formerly South Bank Multi Academy Trust - has become the first multi academy trust in the city to sign the TUC’s ‘Dying to Work’ charter.
The trust employs more than 400 staff in its central team across seven schools in York: York High, Millthorpe, Carr Junior, Knavesmire, Scarcroft and Woodthorpe and Inspire Academy.
The trust says the charter, which provides an agreed way in which employees will be supported, protected and guided throughout their employment, following a terminal diagnosis, is already protecting over half a million working people in the UK and this number is growing every week.
