The latest episode of the Built, Managed, Lived. podcast explores the upcoming changes to Residential Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (Residential PEEPs) and what they mean for residents.
Featuring insights from fire safety experts Patrick Heaney – FirstPort’s Head of Technical Fire Safety, Andy Frankum – Chair of the National Social Housing Fire Strategy Group, and Dean Dixon – Primary Authority Lead for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, the discussion explains the new evacuation planning requirements coming into force and why engaging with residents is essential to keeping vulnerable people safe.
From 6 April 2026, responsible persons in certain higher-risk residential buildings will be required to identify residents who may need support in an emergency – an important step forward in strengthening fire safety and delivering key recommendations from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.
Episode 4 of the Built, Managed, Lived. podcast is available now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
