Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether his Department plans to publish the names the schools subject to the Asbestos Management Assurance Process.

The Department takes the health and safety of staff and pupils very seriously.

The Department launched the Asbestos Management Assurance Process (AMAP) in March 2018 to enhance its understanding of the management of asbestos in schools. The AMAP was a voluntary data collection, but all state funded schools in England were expected to participate. On 16 July 2019, the Department published a report of findings from the process, alongside a list of schools and their responsible bodies that participated.

The AMAP remains open so that schools and responsible bodies can continue to participate or update their information. The Department will update the list of institutions that have responded to the AMAP every six months to ensure that this provides an up-to-date picture of participation.
