School Building Information Database C2

You may be aware that the database for building information including schools (referred to as Concerto, Connect2 or C2) has been updated. This is the main source of information the County Council holds on sites and buildings. Although we recognise that some of the information is sometimes historic, officers refer to this as our main source of school building and site detail which includes site plans, accommodation measurements, asbestos surveys, leases, etc. All schools (including academies) should be able to access the database, but this access may have lapsed now with changes of staff and roles. Please check your arrangements and let us know if you need them to be refreshed. There is also the opportunity to contact us with any updates to the information held on the system. The link is https://norfolkcc.concerto.co.uk/. If you have any issues please contact [email protected]
