RESIDENTIAL EVACUATION PLANS TRAINING – FIRE SAFETY (RESIDENTIAL EVACUAITON PLANS) (ENGLAND) REGULATIONS 2025

This course provides a clear, practical guide to meeting the legal duties for residential evacuation planning. Evacuation planning in residential buildings is far more than producing an evacuation statement — it requires meaningful engagement with residents, accurate identification of vulnerabilities, robust risk assessment, and the development of tailored, compliant evacuation strategies.

Learners gain the skills to identify relevant residents, engage sensitively and professionally, and create legally compliant PEEPs (Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans) and tPCFRAs (Tailored Person‑Centred Fire Risk Assessments) for residents who may need additional support. The training also covers how to record outcomes clearly, apply proportionate mitigation measures, update the fire and rescue service — including maintaining accurate Premises Information Box (PIB) entries — and ensure evacuation information remains current, reliable, and compliant with the Regulations.

Designed specifically for housing providers, building safety managers, and Responsible/Accountable Persons, this course helps organisations meet the requirements of the Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) (England) Regulations 2025 and strengthen resident safety through consistent, informed practice.
