<p>The proper standard of fire safety, to protect life and property, is essential
in our schools. All schools must comply with building and fire safety regulations.</p><p>
</p><p>All new schools are assessed on a case-by-case basis for fire safety and, where
it is concluded that sprinklers must be fitted to protect property or keep children
safe, they will be. This is consistent with the position set out in our Fire Safety
Design for Schools – Building Bulletin 100 (BB100) guidance for schools in England
and Wales.</p><p> </p><p>Schools in Northern Ireland are required to comply with the
Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations
(Northern Ireland) 2010 which reinforces a risk based approach to fire prevention.</p>
