These updates, and the government’s commitment to update regularly, will bring considerable transparency to what is a vitally important area of work.

February 2025 update

The update published on 26 February 2025 is the ninth and final update in this series.

All phase 1 recommendations directed at London Fire Brigade, other fire and rescue services and other emergency services have been addressed. 12 of 15 government recommendations have been addressed and closed. The remaining 3 recommendations relate to Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) and wider evacuation plans.

The Deputy Prime Minister announced the government’s plans to take these forward at the Grenfell debate in the House of Commons on 2 December 2024 through its residential PEEPs proposals. As they are also phase 2 recommendations, implementation of these final 3 recommendations will be monitored through the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government’s (MHCLG) phase 2 monitoring process with updates published in due course as part of MHCLG’s phase 2 progress reports. 

This page will be updated with a link to the first phase 2 progress report once it goes live.
