Duty of Care and financial support
In May 2019, we received a huge campaign win when the Treasury Select Committee backed Macmillan’s call for the introduction of a legal Duty of Care on the financial services sector.
Why did we campaign?
In 2017 we campaigned to raise awareness of the different support needs people have once treatment ends.
'If the FCA is unable to enforce such behaviour in firms under its current rule book and principles, the Committee would support a legal duty of care.' - Committee
What happened next?
In summer 2019, Macmillan launched an exciting and moving booklet, Cancer - a costly diagnosis?
This focuses on real-life stories, delving into the financial impact of cancer and addressing the urgent need for a legal Duty of Care.
