WINTER WATER SAFETYLearning to be safe near water is an important part of a child's education. |

Winter is especially dangerous because of the temptation to play on ice formed over open water, rivers or canals. It's risky for everyone, but both children and pets are especially at risk, as well as adults who might attempt to rescue them. Please use the links at the bottom of the page for the West Midlands Fire Service and Royal Life Saving Society websites which have important information about how adults and children can keep safer in winter when water is icy. Useful websites for Keeping Safe in Winter Water are at the bottom of the page. |
