DIOCESE OF HEXHAM AND NEWCASTLE
STATEMENT FROM THE DIOCESAN DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION
Statement on Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in Diocesan Schools
The safety of the pupils in our schools is paramount and any potentially unsafe buildings have been identified. The Diocese is working with the Catholic Education Trusts, school leaders, and the DfE to minimize any disruption to the education of pupils. This includes working to make safe and usable any affected buildings and to arrange temporary alternative classroom space where needed including, where suitable, Diocesan premises.
