May 2025 Newsletter

10 Jun

Your legal team have updates for you to read

Dear {{Recipient.FirstName}} {{Recipient.LastName}},

I hope you are keeping well. As promised, I wanted to share key updates with you from the campaign, as and when we have them.

I have been busy cataloguing a lot of the information that you have been sending through, thank you so much for being so honest and providing so much detail. It has been immensely helpful, and I do hope it has not been too triggering.

A lot of you have joined the Private Facebook group, run by Suzanne. I hope you have found it helpful and have been able to support one another and share stories. Even if you simply want to join, but do not feel ready to contribute, you are more then welcome. The link is at the bottom of this newsletter.

I have been trying my best to respond to individual emails, if I have not yet got back to you, I promise you that I will!

Keep reading for the key updates on this campaign.

Contacting Clinicians

In my last newsletter I asked you to provide details of clinicians who have recognised DES. Thank you to all who responded. Not only am I trying to make contact with these individuals, but Sarah and her team at ITV have also been making progress in this area.

I have also been trying to contact some of the British-based Lawyers who have shown an interest in this scandal over the years. It has not been an easy task, time has passed and memories and records fade, but there are still a few more avenues for me to try.

Update on Layla Moran MP

I am pleased to say that Layla Moran continues to share our concerns and below is a follow up letter that she has sent to the Secretary of State for Health & Social Care, Wes Streeting. We await his reply. Letter below:

Write to your MP

We need to make sure that all our local MP’s are aware of this scandal and push them into offering support and ultimately raising the matter in Parliament. To that end, below is a link to Action Network. On here I have drafted a letter for you to send to your MP. Just simply click the button below, fill in your details and hit send.

The letter is deliberately succinct at this stage. There is plenty of space, and I would actively encourage you to share more of your own personal story in the letter. Alternatively, you can simply add your signature and send.

This works is a very simple way – you input you name and postcode, the website will find your MP for you. When you click send, the letter will go automatically to your MP. It is that simple.

Anyone can sign it, regardless of whether they have been affected by DES or not. The more who sign it, the more MP’s will get letters. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could get every MP to receive letter? We can monitor how many letters are sent and I will keep you updated. Lets share this far and wide and keep the awareness going.

Send Your Letter

It would be great if you get a response from your MP. If you could share any responses with me at DESJustice@broudiejacksoncanter.co.uk so I can see who is supportive of our campaign. We shouldn’t have to fight to have this heard in Parliament – here is a link from a debate in 2008. Here we are almost two decades later, with the exact same, unanswered questions.

Staying Connected

We are delighted to inform you that the Facebook group called DES Daughters and Sons Support Group UK is now live. You can join here or via the button below.

The group has been created by the incredibly brave Suzanne, who talked about her lifetime of destructive health problems as a result of her mother being prescribed DES for the recent ITV News documentary.

You can also watch this video message from Suzanne, who shares her hopes for the Facebook group and why she encourages you to join. This is a safe, private space for those affected by DES to chat privately and share experiences. To be clear, the group is not run by Broudie Jackson Canter. This is a separate safe space ran by Suzanne to help connect DES Daughters and Sons.

Join Group

You can get in touch with us at DESJustice@broudiejacksoncanter.co.uk.

Do take care, and as ever, drop me a line if you have any questions. Thank you for your continued support and engagement.

Best regards,

Clare (Partner)
