The issue of the risks of high rise childcare services has again been raised by the media in reports on 2GB, and 7 News Sydney.
According to an article published late last year on the ABCB website, the Australian Building Codes Board is currently looking at the issue of "...fire safety issues associated with vulnerable children in high rise buildings."
It should be noted that all education and care services are required to have policies and procedures in relation to emergency and evacuation under the National Regulations (regulation 168(2)(e)), which includes instructions for what must be done in an emergency and an emergency and evacuation floor plan (regulation 97(1). There is also a requirement for risk assessments to be undertaken in preparing the procedures (regulation 97(2), rehearsing of those procedures (regulation 97(3)), and display of the emergency and evacuation floor plan and instructions (regulation 97(4)).
