There are Braeside staff on site every weekday and often at weekends.

At night, there will always be an emergency contact telephone number, to speak to a Braeside member of staff for advice or to solve a problem.

Resident staff supervising the group will be given a list of room allocations, general guidelines and emergency telephone numbers etc.

All staff rooms have a telephone for emergency use and there is an internal line system for contacting colleagues.

The Centre has a fire protection system and is regularly advised by the Fire Service concerning fire protection.  

All external ground floor doors and windows should be locked at night. If you leave the building in the evening, lock the outside doors and take your key with you.

If the fire bell rings:

• All Centre occupants should gather in front of the main house on the front car park away from the house, where a register should be taken.  The exit should be sensible and prompt.
• The fire service must be called unless it is a known false alarm.
• Braeside staff on duty/call must be informed.

The fire service will expect to gain access to the Braeside office for keys and information.  Group leaders (school staff) should ensure they have their Braeside keys with them.  An office key is available on request.
