A fire escape route in a children's home is on to a flat roof of a garage:

1. Requires a barrier and safe way down to prevent fall from height?
2. Robust procedure to prevent fall from height?

3 storey 56 bed unit Fire doors are not fitting correctly not a 3/4 mm gap more like 10mm on a protected corridor's, passed by building control as new build 2013, no further construction since.
1.Raise concerns
"2. Just state refer to certificate from building control.

and there's only one way to solve this isn't 'fight'.

Flat roof of a garage isn't a place of safety. Is this a proper designed route, or someone's bright idea of a secondary exit?

Either way, a call to the Fire Service with your concerns should improve matters.

Invictus, I don't recall reading what your involvement is in you post, are you the 'responsible person', the registered manager for the home, FRA assessor, H&S bod or just making enquiries out of interest. If you have responsibilities or you are accountable irrespective of the any safety issue you must raise your concerns - using teflon shoulders and suggesting to state "refer to someone else" in my opinion is not morally right. The 'I told you so' feeling you get when it transpires you are correct disappears when a person has been injured or suffers.

You are obviously concerned, does the premises have a sprinkler system fitted? as this makes all the difference.

Don't worry about having to speak to the local fire service. I can remember looking at a pub/ hotel we had just taken over after one of my team raised concerns about an open staircase which was part of the means of escape and had no separation along one of the corridors it led into to. It also had some bedroom doors opening onto it. The premises had a fire certificate under the legislation in force at the time and been subject to a annual inspection by the fire service. There was no way the inspecting officer could have said this was ok. On talking to the local officer he said that one set of rooms we actually flats and were delayed from the others rooms classed as the hotel by a half hour fire wall. We subsequently established that whenever the inspection was due the previous owner used to use an excuse that he would be away for a couple of days so the service delayed the inspection. In the time he had now gained he got his friend then builder in to fit some fire resistant billboards in place to give protection to the staircase and separate the two sets of rooms. A quick coat of emulsion part and job done. The final piece of evidence was when the previous manager told me that the skateboard sheets that I found blocking the fire exit and insisted they went in a skip right away, were the boards used by the builder. Hence be careful about accepting the fact that it was signed off as OK. Some people are devious when it comes to spending money to comply with the law.
