We went to the Palace of Westminster at the end of January to meet with local MPs and raise awareness of the issues facing asbestos victims, and the wider issues around asbestos today. The event was organised jointly by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Occupational Safety and Health and the Trade Union Congress. Representatives of support groups from all around the country attended as part of the Asbestos Victims Support Groups’ Forum.
The Forum campaigns nationally for justice for asbestos victims and their families. ASCE is proud to be a member of the Forum.
