As a housing manager responsible for multiple residential blocks, I needed a comprehensive approach to fire risk assessments that properly considers our residents with disabilities. This person-centred fire risk assessment service has been invaluable. The guidance is clear, practical, and directly addresses our obligations under the Building Safety Act 2022. What I particularly appreciate is how it focuses on individual resident needs rather than just ticking boxes. The assessment templates have helped us identify residents who need PEEPs and ensure we’re meeting our legal duties. Highly recommended for anyone managing residential properties with vulnerable residents.

We operate three care homes across the Midlands, and staying compliant with fire safety regulations whilst ensuring person-centred care has always been challenging. This person-centred fire risk assessment approach has transformed how we manage evacuation planning. It’s helped us create genuinely effective PEEPs for each resident based on their individual mobility and cognitive needs. The CQC inspectors were impressed with how thorough our assessments are now. The step-by-step methodology made it straightforward to implement across all our sites. Well worth the investment for peace of mind and proper resident protection.
