• This section of the Report will set out in chronological order the sequence of related events from the collapse of a wall at Oxgangs School in January 2016 up to the reoccupation of all the PPP1 schools in August 2016. In doing so it is intended to be as far as possible an accurate statement of the facts, reliant as it is on the Inquiry's interpretation of the information provided as evidence or submissions, together with that contained in records and reports made available to the Inquiry.
• In so doing there has been an assumption by the Inquiry that documents provided to it can generally be taken as accurate in relation to the recording and description of the sequence of events over the period in question.
• This section will not include the findings of the Inquiry in relation to these facts. A separate section of this Report deals with each remit item in which the Inquiry's analysis of those elements of these facts relevant to that remit item will be provided.
