Water Safety

Last week, our "Thought for the Week" was on Water Safety, and particularly the safety Campaign ‘Float to Live’, life-saving advice no matter how someone ends up in the water. Should you wish to discuss this further with your children, our newsletter includes helpful links.

Did you know: Water Safety is part of the new Statutory Guidance for RSE (covered in our Skills lessons) for September, so this will be a topic we will be revisiting with students. Other personal safety topics include Rail, Travel and Fire Safety.

If you’re in trouble in the water, #FloatToLive could save your life:

• Tilt your head back with ears submerged
• Relax and try to control your breathing
• Use your hands to help you stay afloat
• It’s OK if your legs sink, we all float differently

Practise floating at as supervised location, such as a swimming pool.

Remember it. Practise it. Share it.
