All schools and colleges with confirmed reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) have suitable mitigations in place.

The department has supported schools and college to put in place mitigations.

The government has committed to resolving this problem as quickly as possible, permanently removing RAAC either through grant funding or the School Rebuilding Programme.
