This release adds two major features in response to new fire safety legislation, plus a wide range of fixes and improvements since version 4.9.0.
Partner Suites
Management Suites
The Responsible Person / PAP and Manager / AP fields can now be assigned to a named individual, a group (such as “Building Safety Manager Team”), or free text such as a company name or job title — not just a single system user.
This addresses a common challenge in the residential sector: recording accountability in a way that is both legally meaningful and GDPR-compliant. Organisations can now choose what appears on published reports (for example, a role or team name) while retaining full internal traceability.
In preparation for the Fire Safety (Residential Evacuation Plans) (England) Regulations commencing 6 April 2026, Risk Warden now includes full BEEP support through the Resident Portal.
Each resident is automatically assigned an evacuation status — Red (Assisted Only), Amber (Unassisted Slow), or Green (Unassisted Normal) — based on their declared vulnerabilities. Building Safety Managers can override this where needed, with a full audit trail.
Residents and managers can also record designated buddies (name, contact, and relationship) to assist during an evacuation, along with consent for data sharing with the Fire and Rescue Service.
Two downloadable PDF reports are available at the building level:
Both reports sort residents by evacuation priority.
