Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC)

Statement (05/09/23):

We have a regular inspection programme for all properties and have not identified concerns relating to RAAC.

Prior to the publishing of the DfE August 2023 revised guidance, we had already supplemented this regime for all properties that could potentially be affected, by commissioning independent engineers to undertake further testing to confirm if there any issues and are awaiting the completion of this work and their final report.

The Chief Executive, Strategic Directors, Leader and Cabinet Members met with the relevant services yesterday and will continue to monitor the situation closely.

In addition, it has been confirmed that Welsh Government has also commissioned a survey of all state funded schools and colleges, we’ll work closely with them on this matter.
