Person centred fire risk assessment and personal emergency evacuation plan policy

The Policy outlines our approach to delivering person centred fire risk assessments (PCFRA) and personal emergency evacuation plans (PEEP) in the Councils owned and managed properties.

The PCFRA and PEEP policy complies with emergency evacuation information sharing guidance published by the Home Office.

PCFRAs will be carried out with residents living in any property type if deemed reasonable and practicable by the assessor. Information will be shared with the Fire and Building Safety team and additional fire safety measures put in place where necessary.

PEEPs are an additional step which further considers evacuation methods and must be carried out for relevant residents living in a building with a simultaneous evacuation strategy between 11 and 18 metres and every building taller than 18 metres who self-identifies to us as unable to self-evacuate (subject to the resident’s voluntary self-identification) and to
do so in consultation with them.
