Education support
Diagrams staff can follow while supporting students
When the alarm sounds, staff in an education support setting have their hands full. They may be helping a student in a wheelchair, calming a student who is distressed, or moving a small group with a set staff ratio. The diagram on the wall needs to be quick to read and easy to trust.
Craig has drawn diagrams for education support schools and centres across Perth and in Albany. He looks at accessible routes, quiet spaces, bus bays and drop-off areas, and works with your team so the diagrams match your emergency plan and your students’ PEEPs.
- Simple layouts that are quick to read under pressure
- Wheelchair-accessible paths of travel shown clearly
- Quiet and sensory spaces shown where your plan uses them
- Bus bays and drop-off areas considered as assembly options
- Zone-by-zone diagrams for larger sites

Interactive self-check
Is your evacuation diagram still compliant?
Six quick checks based on AS 3745-2010 and what Craig sees most often on WA sites.
Does every diagram have a "You Are Here" point that matches where it is mounted?AS 3745-2010 requires the diagram to be oriented to the viewer's position.
Are all current exits and paths of travel shown, with nothing that no longer exists?Blocked, locked or removed doors are the most common failure.
Is the assembly area shown correctly, including any temporary changes?Construction, transportables and new fencing often move it.
Is every extinguisher, hose reel, blanket and alarm point shown where it actually is?Equipment gets relocated during fit-outs and services.
Has the building changed since the diagram was issued?Extensions, new rooms, demountables or a changed use of space.
Is the diagram legible, with a legend, and mounted at the right height?Faded prints and missing legends are non-compliant.
Answer the six checks above
Takes under a minute. We will tell you plainly whether your diagrams are likely to stand up.

Common questions
Straight answers grounded in AS 3745-2010 and WA workplace legislation. Anything else, call Craig.
What is a PEEP and how does it relate to our evacuation diagrams?
A Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) is defined in AS 3745-2010 for an occupant with a disability who may need help to evacuate. Your emergency plan must include provisions for these occupants and record where PEEPs are held. Your diagrams should show the routes and assembly areas those plans rely on.
Can the diagrams show wheelchair-accessible routes?
Yes. Where a site has ramps, level exits or accessible paths, we make sure the paths of travel on the diagram reflect them. That way staff moving a student in a wheelchair are not directed towards steps or a route that only works on foot.
Our site is large and split into zones. Can each zone have its own diagrams?
Yes. For larger sites we often draw zone-by-zone diagrams, as we did at Burbridge School. Each diagram focuses on the area the reader is in, so staff see their own exits and assembly area without having to read the whole school map.
Can a bus bay be used as an assembly area?
It can, if your Emergency Planning Committee decides it is the safest practical option. Several education support sites we work with assemble at the bus bay, because it is close, accessible and familiar to students. We show the agreed assembly area clearly on every diagram.
How often do our evacuation diagrams need reviewing?
AS 3745-2010 asks your Emergency Planning Committee to set a validity period, and the standard’s note says it should not exceed five years. Craig recommends reviewing at least every five years, and straight away when anything changes, such as a new classroom, a moved ramp or a new sensory room.
