On 30 June 2026, the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) became the latest employer to sign the Trade Union Council’s (TUC) Dying to Work voluntary charter, a pledge to protect terminally ill workers from dismissal. The charter follows similar commitments by employers such as Morrisons, British Transport Police and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. The TUC launched the campaign after the dismissal of Jacci Woodcook, a Derbyshire sales manager who lost her job after a terminal breast‑cancer diagnosis. CNC Chief Constable Simon Chesterman said the sign‑up demonstrates a commitment to fair treatment. Chair of the Civil Nuclear Police Authority Susan Johnson added the CNPA will support employees facing a terminal illness. TUC Midlands Secretary Stuart Richards noted that the charter now covers over 2 million workers and expects more employers to join.
