Welsh Government releases update on RAAC assessments

Article summary

The Welsh Government has released an update on the ongoing assessments of buildings containing reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) across Wales. Prompted by a new risk assessment from the UK Government's Department for Education, the initiative has so far identified four schools in Wales with RAAC. The government has also asked local authorities and other public bodies to assess the wider public estate, including social housing, with the aim to build a fuller picture of the presence of RAAC in public buildings.
