<p>The safety of students and staff across the education estate remains ministers'
highest priority. Since the Grenfell fire, the department has worked closely with
the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) on fire safety. In
line with that cross-government approach, we identified university-owned residential
buildings over 18 metres with potentially dangerous ACM cladding. In the light of
updated building safety guidance for owners of residential buildings published on
20 January by MHCLG, the department will gather any additional information required
on residential buildings across the education estate, and will continue to work with
building owners to ensure that any subsequent remediation work, if any, is undertaken.</p>
