CM using upstairs rooms

I am in the process of moving, and in the new house will need to use my bedroom as a quiet room for sleeping baby (in travel cot) and the upstairs toilet. I need to risk asses the two rooms, are there any 'requirements' such as an opening window etc?

I registered my upstairs rooms and didn't have any extra requirements - I bought a chain fire escape ladder just in case though, and made sure the windows had locks on them.

The patio doors will need to either be safety glass or have safety film put on them. You can buy it from ebay and you can't see it's on there at all. Might be worth having something visible on the windows (little stickers or decals or something that you can remove at night) that the window is 'visible' IYKWIM?

if you are opening upstairs windows you need to risk asses on locks, window keys and climbing risk.

Do you have a kite mark on the patio windows? that its self who be what I would look for.

Great thanks. Will look out for kite mark. The opening window question was basically, do I need to have a fully opening window? For a fire escape I mean.

No more than you would normally for building regs. So you'll be fine. Ofted lady barely glanced in the upstairs rooms in DW's CM inspection.
