The Grenfell Inquiry recommended PEEPs in 2019. Five years later, most disabled residents in high-rise buildings still have no plan for getting out alive.. The Promise That Wasn't Kept Grenfell Inquiry Phase 1 Recommendation 3 was unambiguous: owners and managers of high rise residential buildings must prepare Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) for all residents whose ability to self evacuate may be compromised. Five years later, the government has still not fully implemented this recommendation. Instead, it proposed the Emergency Evacuation Information Sharing (EEIS) scheme — a watered down alternative that critics say fails to provide the individual planning that vulnerable residents need. The numbers are stark: 2.4 million disabled people live in flats in England Fewer than 8% have a documented emergency evacuation plan 67% say they would be unable to evacuate without assistance 89% have never been asked about their evacuation needs by their building manager Zero additional funding has been provided for PEEP implementation What a PEEP Should Include Assessment of the individual's mobility and communication needs Identified evacuation route (including alternatives) Equipment needed (evacuation chair, carry sheet, refuge intercom) Assistance required (number of people, training needed) Communication method (visual alarm, vibrating alert) Refuge location identified on each floor Named buddies or wardens assigned Regular review schedule (minimum annually) Integration with building evacuation strategy Shared with the local fire service The Equality Act Dimension Section 149 of the Equality Act 2010 places a duty on public authorities and service providers to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people. Failing to provide PEEPs may constitute unlawful discrimination. Magnus Opifex provides inclusive evacuation planning for every building. Contact us.
