I've started a new thread so as keep on subjec, as this has nothing to do with RAAC.
We got told two weeks ago that our girls school had structural Issues.
We had 3 meetings with the school and the school governors along with a few labour councillors.
We where told that the government had two surveys.
The first survey coming back that the buildings where safe for teachers and staff to attend school as normal as its was all safe to do so.
For what ever reason they paid for a second survey that advised for the immediate closure of the school.
That is what the Government advised for the governing school body to do.
Advise taken.
My youngest is now going to another school across town and my eldest will be taught in a marquee.
All for the time being.
Yet too see if this is the right way to go forward.
We all want the best for Our children so we will all muck in together.
Nothing of the sort.
The government know far more than you; they consult with shedloads of advisers (internal, industry, unions, lobby groups).
The misconception that you are operating under, @bod , is that the government make decisions based on the information in front of them.
My experience; the gov. decide what they want to do, go through a charade of a consultation process, then do what they want anyway.
(A senior adviser once told a friend and colleague of mine - on another built-environment policy decision, admittedly - "we have a duty to consult; we do not have a duty to take any notice")
The government know far more than you do: that is how they are able to spin their (pre-formed) decision.
A lot of thought and expense goes into stuff like "kicking the can down the road".
