Supported Living Fire Risk Assessment

Built for Supported Living

Sleeping-risk premises • CQC-ready • Evacuation strategy reviewed

Reviewed by Chris Banks, Commercial Director & NEBOSH-qualified assessor · Last reviewed October 2026

Care homes are among the highest-risk premises for fire safety. Residents may be unable to evacuate without assistance, and a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment must account for sleeping accommodation, staffing levels at night, and a defensible progressive-horizontal evacuation strategy. HawkSwift's NEBOSH-qualified assessors specialise in care settings and produce reports that stand up to CQC inspection and Fire Authority scrutiny. This page is tailored specifically to supported living premises.

Supported living provides individual tenancies with care support, so fire safety sits between domestic and residential-care risk. The assessment covers shared communal spaces, individual flat detection, and how support staff assist residents with evacuation — with PEEPs where needed.
