When assessing whether you comply with HS303

Questions we are likely to ask

Where the assembly point is after evacuating the building?

The tools below are here to support you, but you do not have to use them. You can use other tools or methods that work better for your service.

Evacuating from above ground level

It may be more difficult to evacuate children from centres that are not at ground level. A specific guidance tool is available for ECE services based in high rise buildings.

By having a designated safe assembly area in place, medical staff and adults in the service will be well placed to support children in the service during an emergency.
