Stay Safe in Water
There are many hidden dangers, when entering canals, rivers and reservoirs, that have tragically taken lives.
The number of accidental drownings in our region is on the rise.
Anything below 15ºC is defined as cold water and can seriously affect your breathing and movement, so the risk is significant all year round, even on hot days, and even for strong swimmers.

Being online can be a brilliant place to keep in touch with friends, be creative and discover new things.
Most people use the internet daily for things like going on social media, game, watch videos, work and study.
Talking to people online that you know ‘offline’ is something many people do, people that you don’t know can also use social media and follow you.
As brilliant as the internet is, it can be used by those who want to cause harm to a child. So you may find it useful to read through the information on this page to help keep yourself and your friends safe online.
