Royal Lifesaving Society UK Drowning Prevention Week - 15th -22nd June 2024
Drowning Prevention Week (DPW) is the RLS’s biggest campaign of the year, targeting families, carers, teachers and instructors of children aged five to fifteen years old with the aim of educating them about water safety.
No child should drown, and with the right water safety education – such as knowledge of the Water Safety Code – accidental drownings are preventable. Drowning Prevention Week is deliberately timed ahead of the school summer holidays when children spend more time outdoors and when vital water safety skills can help keep children safe.
Be Water Safety Aware from the RBFRS
As the weather begins to improve, Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (RBFRS) is once again joining fire services from across the UK to ask people to stay safe in and around water.
