Request

Information about the use of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in schools which the council has maintenance obligations for. In 2018 the Local Government Association and Department for Education sent an alert to schools and responsible authorities about the use of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) that was used to construct any part of school estates between the 1960s and 1980s.

Could you please answer the following questions relating to the official Government guidance (the most recent of which can be found here).

1.According to the Government guidance, since 2018 how many schools for which you have maintenance responsibility require inspection to determine if RAAC is present?

3b) How many repairs have been completed?
