Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) (England) Regulations 2025
Forthcoming Legislation
Effective: 6 April 2026
These Regulations are made under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (SI 2005/1541), which enables the making of regulations regarding precautions to be taken or observed in relation to the risk to safety of persons from fire in premises to which that Order applies.
They make provision for personal and building emergency evacuation plans in relation to specified residential buildings and make provision requiring the responsible person to identify residents with cognitive or physical impairments that may affect their ability to evacuate a building in the event of a fire and to undertake a person-centred fire risk assessment for any such resident that requests it.
