<p>The Department has sent a questionnaire on reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) to all responsible bodies, asking them to provide information on RAAC in their estates. Responses from the questionnaire will allow the Department to better understand the prevalence of RAAC across the education estate and ensure the correct support is in place to meet the responsible bodies’ needs.</p><p>As the questionnaire remains open for responses, the Department is not able to provide a list of schools that contain RAAC elements at present. The Department will consider releasing outcomes from the questionnaire in the future.</p><p>The Department has allocated over £13 billion since 2015 for keeping schools safe and operational, including £1.8 billion committed this financial year.</p> |
