Asbestos campaign unveils website

A coalition of unions has launched a website intended to push the government to remove asbestos from educational buildings.

Founded in 2010, the Joint Union Asbestos Committee (JUAC), brings together representatives of the ASCL, GMB, NAHT, NASUWT, NEU, UNISON, Unite, UCU and Voice.

It said that “some twenty years on from the full ban on asbestos in construction, its presence in many older school buildings remains a national problem, with the latest Department for Education figures estimating that 83.5% of schools in England contain asbestos, in some shape or form."
