Part of the BNTVA's remit is to represent and advocate for British nuclear test veterans and their families by relaying the experiences of our unique community through health and social care think tanks and bodies in public forums.

We have been asked to share the point of view of the British nuclear community through National Voices, of which we are a member. National Voices is the leading coalition of health and social care charities in England who work together to strengthen the voice of patients, service users, carers, their families and the voluntary organisations that work for them.

Particularly, we are looking for the following to be included in a brief concerning Living Without Protections. This explores the impact that the removal of COVID protections is having on people's lives.

• Has the removal of these protections affected your physical or mental health, social or work life?
• Were there protections or support that you benefitted from and you think should remain?

If you have any thoughts on these questions or are suffering from the impact of the pandemic, please contact the BNTVA on 0208 144 3080, through the website or on info@bntva.com before 14 April. Thank you.
