Being a member of the Asbestos in Schools group (AiS) means I have the pleasure of working with Michael Lees. Michael's wife, Gina, died from mesothelioma in 2000 and he believes that exposure to asbestos while she was teaching in schools was to blame.

Since then Michael has campaigned for more to be done to tackle the issue of asbestos in schools. He publishes an informative newsletter on the subject, the latest issue of which focuses on the Coalition Government's attitude to asbestos in schools. You can read the latest newsletter on the asbestos in schools website.
