A letter sent to the parents of children at schools in Edinburgh on Friday said RAAC has been identified in seven schools
It said that where it is found, remedial work could include the closure of impacted rooms or sections of the building and the use of temporary, modular provision for pupils to ensure the continuity of education.
Mr McLennan told the BBC: “Local authorities are undertaking assessments and we’re expecting that back next week. He denied that there were pupils being taught in classrooms with faulty concrete, with parts of buildings at risk already being identified and cordoned off. National official Mike Corbett said: “Nothing is more important than ensuring the safety of children and the staff who work in our schools.
