Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP)

About this document

What it’s for

Many people living in care homes or supported living need help to leave a building in an emergency. Fire safety law and CQC expect a personal emergency evacuation plan for each person who needs one, linked to the fire risk assessment and evacuation strategy (such as progressive horizontal evacuation).

When to use it

  • On admission for anyone who needs help to evacuate
  • When mobility, health, medication or room changes
  • At least every [6] months and after any drill

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Part 1 – Needs assessment
  • Part 2 – Evacuation plan
  • Part 3 – Grab sheet (for the emergency file)
  • Drill and review record

How to complete it

  • Complete with the person, using the fire risk assessment and your evacuation strategy
  • Keep a copy in the care plan and the emergency “grab” file
  • Practise the plan in drills, especially with night staffing levels

Key points to check

  • The plan must work with the minimum night staffing
  • Check equipment such as evacuation mats or chairs and train staff to use them
