On Monday (September 4), we confirmed two schools in Ynys Mon, which have Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) present in their buildings, would close temporarily to enable further safety inspections to be carried out.
Throughout this week, all local authorities, which have statutory responsibility for maintaining school buildings in Wales, have been reviewing their school estate to identify any areas suspected of containing RAAC.
No other schools in Wales have been identified as containing RAAC to date. Today we are publishing the latest position of each local authority, as the assessment work continues (see annex). We will have a complete picture by 15 September at the latest.
We would like to thank everyone working in the education sector and local authorities who have worked tirelessly since the UK Government’s Department for Education published its revised risk assessment for RAAC.
