'Mission to ‘eradicate scourge of drowning’ after deaths surge across England': theguardian.com/uk-news/2026… @NWSFweb link: nationalwatersafety.org.uk/n… National #WaterSafety Education Pathway (3 to 18 year olds): nationalwatersafety.org.uk/m… #Swimming and water safety HAVE to feature as expected targets within September's expected DfE criteria publication date for 'transition grant' (to bridge between end of PE+Sport Premium and PE+School Sport Partnership Network Strategy) The need to also emphasise the subject's compulsory feature within PSHE curriculum. The need to also INSIST that @Ofstednews inspects this area of learning. Well done for your hard-working efforts @ProfMikeTipton @darrenpaffey @NWSFweb ⭐️100% supportive - we will continue to actively support with campaigning and promoting. PLEASE make the positive difference happen...and help to save lives as a consequence @LucyMPowell @Georgia_Gould @educationgovuk

@DailyMirror launches #SaveLivesForSam campaign 'for urgent action and to push the government to deliver a national #watersafety awareness campaign: mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/sa… “Unless the government acts now, more people could die this summer. The school holidays are weeks away, temperatures will rise again, and children will head to open water.” @LeePitcherMP “We lose one person a day, on average, from drowning during May, June, July and August. Around 43% of them are under the age of 40, and quite a lot of them are young teenagers or men, particularly 20 to 29. It means that each year in the UK we lose about 8,000 years of life because people are dying prematurely" @ProfMikeTipton
