Our staff have a responsibility to ensure that they accompany any visitors during an emergency evacuation to the muster point designated in local Fire Evacuation Plans. Visitors must not be left unattended and should be accompanied at all times during an emergency evacuation until the all clear is given for re-entry to the building.

In the event of an evacuation, as this office is manned by one person for a substantial amount of time, we cannot guarantee the safe evacuation of any person in a wheel chair. Other arrangements can be made to meet at the Sheriff Court.
