Testimonial

Strategic Lead Housing, East Suffolk Council

“Creating Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEP’s) for all our residents with shared routes of escape was a daunting task for my team, but we all recognised the importance and the urgency in this work.

I was concerned with going with an online training platform, as it can be too easy to be distracted by email and calls when completing courses online. The platform and modules themselves were engaging, used different techniques throughout such as video’s, podcasts and quizzes to help you stay on track. We enjoyed the training and having different levels for the strategic and operational aspects worked really well.

Since completing the training, the team have been able to complete PEEP’s with all our residents in high-rise, temporary homeless and retired living accommodation, and we are currently working through our general needs flats. It has also given me the confidence to make the necessary recommendations for both evacuation devices, and mitigations such as misting devices and alterations to buildings.”
