Practising the Evacuation Drill

The PEEP should be practised as soon as practicably possible before a full school emergency evacuation drill to identify any problems encountered and improvements that need to be made. 

All members of staff who may be involved in the evacuation and the pupil should travel the evacuation routes and go through the procedures including a physical evacuation using any necessary equipment , e.g. evacuation chair, transfer board, hoist etc.

After each practice/drill there should be a review to identify any problems encountered and improvements to be made.  Where changes need to be made, they will be discussed with all affected parties and any amendments recorded in the PEEP.
