Fire Safety Management: Supporting SEND Students

About this event
Whether a disability is chronic or temporary, Personalised Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) need to be considered for those on school premises with SEND students and staff with disabilities.
A PEEP plans for emergencies like fires and how to evacuate a child with SEND, the steps you need to take and what must be organised prior to any emergency, thus reducing the time required to keep everyone safe.
Preparation and knowledge is key along with ensuring your staff are fully trained and aware of any responsibilities they hold. Join us as we talk you through the fire safety management essentials for schools and trusts with a focus on supporting SEND. 

During the session we will be looking at:

    • Risk assessments 
    • Accessible safety measures, which may include using visual alarms, tactile signage, and accessible exits
      • Staff training and support, including understanding how to use specialised equipment like evacuation chairs and how to communicate effectively with students who have specific needs
