* Important Information for Disabled Visitors to Prisons *

 

Under the new Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 we have a duty to ensure we can evacuate disabled persons from any part of our Estate we give them access to. We achieve this by creating a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP). If you have particular requirements please contact us with the following information:

 

Which establishment you are visiting, the date and time; and details of  your requirements.
