RBL will be in Portcullis House Atrium between 8am and 6pm, we invite you to come over and find us for a chat about our new Caseworker guide and how we can work together. The Poppyride challenge for MPs and Peers is happening at the same time, so why not pop along and while you MP is taking part in the ride, you can chat with us.
The Royal British Legion have recently published and re-launched their Caseworker Guide, specifically designed for MPs and their caseworker staff. RBL has always had great engagement and collaboration on a cross-party basis with MPs and their support staff. This caseworker guide is a practical tool to help MPs to better support and understand their constituents from the Armed Forces community. It is packed with key information, helpful points of contact and advice on how they can better help and support their constituents, including veterans, currently serving personnel, regulars, reservists and all their families.
RBL has an extensive amount of welfare support available to those who fall into that broad category of ‘the Armed Forces community’ and we support thousands of people every year. We cannot do that on our own and collaborate closely with other service charities, local government and national government agencies. It’s important that MPs are aware of the wide range of support that is available to their constituents and where they can refer constituents for help.
RBL does not shy away from the many challenges that the Armed Forces community face, many of which are unique to those who serve and the incredible support provided by their families. We also seek to dispel myths and share the most recent information and data about what it means to be a member of the Armed Forces community in 2024. Please encourage your MPs and colleagues who work for them to download the RBL MP Caseworker guide and join the partnership of support.
You will find the link to the Royal British Legion MP Caseworker guide on the w4mp resources for caseworkers page on Parlinet.
