• A Personal Emergency Evacuation Procedure ( known as a PEEP), is a procedure designed to outline the emergency requirements of a member of staff or student who may require assistance where theirs affects their method of egress in an emergency.
  
  Preston's College accepts that during the course of work or study, there are members of staff/students on campus who are able bodied and also those who are less able bodied. The College actively promotes studying for all persons and therefore does not discriminate. To ensure that those persons who require assistance can safely leave College buildings in an emergency, a PEEP must be completed. this process ensures that tutors, line mangers and individuals discuss and take into account specific needs and produce a plan to ensure their safety is provided for in the event of an emergency.
