<p>An updated list of schools and colleges with confirmed cases of RAAC was published
on 6 December, which is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reinforced-autoclaved-aerated-concrete-raac-management-information.</p><p>
</p><p>As of 27 November, there are 231 education settings with confirmed RAAC in
some of their buildings. At the time of publication, three schools had hybrid arrangements
in place, of which two are now in full time face-to-face education for all pupils
and we expect the remaining school to be back in the near future. There were no education
settings with confirmed RAAC where all pupils are in full-time remote learning.</p><p>
</p><p>Where the presence of RAAC is confirmed, responsible bodies and schools are
expected to ensure that face-to-face learning continues as a priority. The department
will support them to do this through dedicated caseworker teams.</p><p> </p><p>Each
school or college with confirmed RAAC is assigned dedicated support from a team of
caseworkers, who work with schools and colleges to assess what support is needed and
implement mitigation plans that are right for them. A bespoke plan is put in place
to ensure that each school and college receives the support that suits its circumstances.</p><p>
</p><p>Where some short-term disruption is inevitable, all available measures will
be taken to minimise disruption to teaching and return pupils to face-to-face teaching
as soon as possible.</p><p> </p><p>As all cases are different and the support each
school or college receive is bespoke, identifying the number of pupils affected is
not reflective of the reality for affected cases.</p>
