How to contact usNew legislation around Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPS) for residential buildings will come into force from Monday 6 April 2026, so Responsible Persons (RPs) need to understand their rights and responsibilities.
The Residential PEEPs process includes a range of measures that RPs will be legally required to meet to improve the fire safety and evacuation of vulnerable residents. A Residential PEEPs guidance factsheet is available to access for further information
Ahead of the new regulations coming into force, we are providing interim guidance to residential building owners/RPs that all Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPS) for individuals within scope residing in the building are held within their Premises Information box (PIB). This is to ensure that the correct information can be quickly accessed by fire crews should there be an incident.

Further information will be published here ahead of the changes in legislation.
