Local authority leaders have urged the Government to share the list of schools who have yet to respond to surveys about the presence of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC).

The concrete, which tends to weaken over time, has been identified in schools and other buildings across the UK.

The number of schools in England affected by RAAC has increased to 174, according to the latest figures from the Government. This is an increase of 27 since the end of August.

In 2022, the Department for Education (DfE) sent a questionnaire to responsible bodies to help identify which schools had buildings with RAAC.

Cllr Shaun Davies, chair of the Local Government Association (LGA), today said that the association was concerned that councils have not been told which schools in their areas have yet to return their survey data.

‘The Government must share the list of schools yet to fill it in with councils, so they are able to support any school identified as having RAAC with urgent remediation works or find alternative classroom space where appropriate,’ he said.
