3. What is the CDC?
It’s the follow-on of the Property Data Survey Programme (PDSP) 2012 – 2014
Started February 2017 (pilots) and due to complete September 2019
Includes all government funded schools

4. What is the CDC?
Overarching aim – supports targeting of capital funding allocation
High level, non-invasive assessment of the condition of school buildings and includes building maintenance compliance
Improvements
RB Engagement

5. What CDC is not
It is not a comprehensive asset management survey because:
It does not address H&S requirements
It is not invasive
It is not structural
It does not report on hazardous materials
No account of operational criticality/capacity
It does not provide estimated defect remedy cost information for schools or responsible bodies.

6. Focus on asbestos All schools will now be asked to show:
Asbestos location register
Asbestos management plan
Links to AMAP
CAR 2012 – it’s the law
Keep others aware
