I see your shit drawing and I raise you...
You could go quartered with a horizontally hinged opener at the top and a vertically hinged opener diagonally opposite.

That'd look nice but I don't think any of them would end up big enough to crawl out of in the event of a fire. Having actually done a Google I think I'll probably go for a big side guided with a fixed or top hinged top. The side guided (as opposed to hinged) will allow for cleaning. I'm assuming there exists some mechanism to stop a toddler opening up a window wide enough to crawl out of.
Edit: I know sliding UPVC hinges usually have some degree of restriction on them anyway, but not sure if this could be adjusted down to only open, say, 3" without pressing the release catch.

Can anyone lend their thoughts on window configuration? It'll be getting replaced as current one is shagged. 1st floor above a 1 storey pitched roof at the back of the house, so seems like a sensible spot to climb out of in the event of a fire.... but it'll also house a child before too long, so needs to be toddler proof. I've heard tilt and turn are liable to fuck up due to forces on the hinges. It's 1000 x 1600 roughly so too big for one standard sealed unit I think. Highly accurate survey attached:
