RAAC is a form of lightweight bubbly concrete that was used in many public sector buildings between the 1950s and 1990s. It was a cheaper alternative to standard concrete and quicker to produce but only has a lifespan of around 30 years.

A Freedom of Information request revealed in June that Wirral Council had inspected all of its school buildings with RAAC found not to be present in any of these. It said 99 schools had been inspected by the authority. Wirral Council said a further 28 schools in the borough are either diocese or academy schools who would employ their own surveyor.

The issue made national headlines after a number of schools were forced to close just before the start of term in September 2023 due to safety concerns. The government later published that 174 schools and colleges had the crumbling concrete.
