Introduction

It is the responsibility of Headteachers and the Senior Leadership Team, (SLT) to ensure that a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) is developed for all pupils with permanent or temporary disabilities to ensure they are not put at any disadvantage or treated less favourably in the event of an emergency.

The plan should:

• Identify any specific needs of the individual;
• Identify staff responsibilities;
• Identify staff training requirements;
• Identify specific evacuation routes where appropriate including providing ramps on final exit doors where appropriate;
• Identify refuge areas and specific evacuation procedures.

The PEEP should be reviewed at least annually to ensure that the most up to date information is available. 

Further reviews should be undertaken where there is a change in the person's health, a change in procedures or an alteration of the premises.
