Personal Emergency Egress Plans (PEEP's) are advisable for staff and students who suffer from a sensory, physical or medical impairment that may make evacuation of a building in an emergency more challenging.

PEEPS are ‘personal’ plans and are tailored to an individual’s needs and help address the challenges that an individual staff member or a student may have to face in evacuating a university building in an emergency.

See here for furthur details on Personal Emergency Egress Plans (PEEP's). 

The UCD SIRC Office has prepared a guidance document entitled (opens in a new window)Dealing with Acute Student Situations and Other Emergencies to provide staff members, who work in public offices and have face-to-face interactions with students and members of the public, with a set of guidelines for dealing with various types of emergency situations that may arise when dealing with same, e.g. disruptive or threatening behaviour; emotionally distressed students, student or staff injury.

The UCD Student Mental Health Policy and further information and useful documents can be found on the website Student Supports on Campus
