Committees

Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) and management of school estates

Non-inquiry session

This one off session follows up the RAAC crisis in schools in the summer of 2023 and the work that followed by DfE and schools to remediate faulty end-of-life concrete in school buildings. It will also look into school estate management more broadly to consider other problems within the built environment of schools and what steps are needed to address these.
