Welcome to this training course on evacuation plans in residential buildings. You’re about to explore how The Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) (England) Regulations go far beyond simply writing an evacuation statement.

Across this training, you’ll get to know the residents these regulations are designed to protect and learn how to identify when someone may need additional support. You’ll look at the person‑centred fire risk assessment process and the practical mitigation measures that can reduce risk in real homes.

You’ll then examine how the Emergency Evacuation Statement supports safe escape and contributes to overall risk reduction. To bring everything together, the course will guide you through the key information to record so you can support residents effectively and provide clear, useful detail for the business and fire and rescue authorities.

By the end, you’ll have a confident understanding of what good evacuation planning looks like and how to apply it in practice.
