This guidance is to support those who plan to install temporary school buildings, when they are needed as a result of the presence of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC).

It is for:

  • local authorities
  • school leaders and governing bodies in all maintained schools, academies and free schools
  • contractors working on behalf of responsible bodies or the Department for Education (DfE)

There is separate guidance for responsible bodies and education settings with confirmed RAAC.

This guidance is to support those who plan to install RAAC-related temporary school buildings under permitted development rights, specifically schedule 2, part 4, class CB of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
