Unions have warned that school buildings at risk of collapse must be dealt with urgently to prevent a potentially devastating disaster. In recent weeks, several schools in the UK have reported structural issues indicating an imminent risk of collapse. The unions call on the government to take immediate action and ensure all school buildings are adequately maintained and safe for children and staff.

The union representatives have outlined details of some of the most concerning reports they’ve received from members. These include walls cracking, floors sinking, roof tiles falling off, windows visibly bowing outwards, doors not closing properly, and even entire staircases collapsing. Union officials say these incidents are extremely worrying as a collapse could cause serious injury or even death for anyone nearby.
The unions are urging the government to immediately inspect any school buildings at risk of collapse and take whatever action is needed to make them safe again. They suggest that financial resources should be allocated for this purpose if necessary. The unions also recommend a review of standards and regulations for school buildings to prevent similar issues from arising in the future.
All schools must be up to an acceptable standard to protect children and staff from harm, say union representatives. With some worrying reports already coming in, it’s clear that urgent action must be taken before it’s too late.
