A THIRD of people in the North-west who live with epilepsy say they have experienced prejudice from their employer.

Almost half are reluctant to change jobs because they fear encountering prejudice elsewhere.

These are among the findings of a survey carried out by the National Society for Epilepsy (NCE)

It said the level of prejudice perceived to be shown by employers has changed little in the last three years, since NSE last carried out a similar survey.
