School responsibilities#

School boards are responsible for managing mould in their schools. Mould is a living organism that grows where high humidity is combined with damp or wet conditions. It can grow on walls, ceilings, curtains, carpets and around windows.

Our guide for mould mitigation explains how to manage it.

You should contact your property advisor if you find extensive mould in any of your school buildings, including photographs of the area to show the size of the mould coverage.
