FOI Request - Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in Schools

Request 101003390941 

1. Has every school in your local authority conducted a physical inspection for Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in the past 2 financial years?

2. If not, how many schools have not been inspected, which schools are they and when were they last inspected?

3. How many schools are deemed to be a risk? And what schools are they?

Response 27-09-2023

1. No, in line with UK Government Guidance, a risk-based assessment of our schools was undertaken, with desktop reviews undertaken of all properties to establish which schools were at risk of containing RAAC, and those were then inspected.

2. All schools identified in the initial desk top risk assessment exercise as potentially containing RAAC have been inspected.

3. If by 'deemed to be a risk' you are asking which schools contain RAAC, I can confirm that one school - Forres Academy - contains RAAC panels.
