READ
An orange dot on a learner's ID indicates they have a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP). In any evacuation, that learner has a named buddy and a designated route. As tutor, your job is to know who has a dot, where their PEEP is held, and where they will go.
- Check the register for any learner with a PEEP.
- Confirm the location of the refuge point if your room is above ground floor.
- Direct the class to the nearest accessible exit calmly.
- At the assembly point, take the register. Report any missing learner immediately.
Refer to Disability Services on the day you spot the need. PEEPs can be drafted within 48 hours for urgent cases.

Orange Dot: an evacuation
An alarm, partway through a session. At each turn, choose what you do, and see who goes where.
Enough, or a check missing?
Seven moments, before a session and in an evacuation. For each one, is that enough, or is a check missing?
Before any session, in an evacuation, and if a learner needs a PEEP, word for word. It prints on one side of A5.
