Prediction

Growth is expected in a wide range of claims relating to school environments, encompassing both injury claims and those based on the Equality and Human Rights Acts. Such claims cover a wide range of scenarios, from direct physical assaults perpetrated at student/student and teacher/student level to the misuse of equipment and claims arising out of alleged defects in the fabric of school premises. Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) has been identified in over 22,000 schools and the presence of remedial works, in some cases together with temporary and adapted buildings, is likely to increase risks and the potential for claims.
