Edinburgh School Wall Collapse
You will be aware that a tragic fatal accident occurred recently when a freestanding modesty wall collapsed in the changing room of a school in Edinburgh.
It is advised, for reassurance, that Headteachers identify if they also have freestanding modesty walls or similar structures and for premises managers to check their stability. If you have any concerns about the stability of any structure the area should be secured immediately and the schools building surveyor contacted to make a formal assessment.
