More than a hundred schools have been told that they need to shut facilities or put urgent safety measures in place
Dangerous crumbling concrete which the government says could require immediate building closures has been confirmed in Greater Manchester schools.
The Diocese of Salford, which runs more than 200 schools including primary, secondary and sixth form colleges across Greater Manchester, parts of Lancashire, and Calderdale in West Yorkshire has also confirmed that some of its buildings have been confirmed as containing RAAC. A spokesperson for Bolton council said: “Following Department for Education guidance a number of years ago, we surveyed all the community and voluntary controlled school buildings of the relevant age which the council has responsibility for.
A total of 156 schools in England have been confirmed to contain RAAC, the Department of Education has said. Of these, 52 have already put mitigations in place. But the numbers of schools impacted could increase as more survey works across the country are undertaken. The DfE and an independent firm carried out surveys in the college building that had advised a number of rooms be taken out of immediate use in line with the government regulations.
