PEEPs and Person-Centered Fire Risk Assessments

Fire Safety Leaders Summit
Fire Safety Leaders Summit
Preparing for This Months Regulations. With new legislation on PEEPs (Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans) and Person-Centered Fire Risk Assessments due to take effect in April 2026, housing providers, fire safety professionals, and building owners face significant challenges. This interactive discussion will explore the real-world implications of these changes - from the resources needed to implement them, to the complexities of competence, cost, and resident expectations. How do we balance individual welfare with shared responsibilities? What does “competence” look like when medical conditions affect escape planning? And who should carry the financial burden of the required controls? Delegates will be encouraged to share experiences, challenges, and potential solutions as the sector navigates this pivotal shift in fire safety regulation.
