produced:

You haven't shown on the photos where the fixed stair (not a
retractable ladder) comes down into the enclosed stairway, nor whether
the stair is fully enclosed at first floor and ground floor level or
whether it is open to the lounge or kitchen. You also don't show
where your alternative escape window is in the roof space or whether
all the doors from the second floor to the final exit are 30-minutes
fire-resisting. Neither can I see whether you have installed
mains-wired smoke detectors to all storeys.

If all that happens is they fall through the floor, then they'd be
luckier than if they were trapped up there in a fire.
