Our graphic designer, Paula Leech, put together a safety message about flags yesterday, (the first one had a spelling mistake - sorry about that. Paula says we swim better than we spell :-) ) but it has gone viral which means that we can make a very real impact in drowning prevention, simply through sharing information.Andrew Ingram, Head of Drowning Prevention, has given us a list of key safety messages that Paula will put into a series and we encourage you to share them. More will be available for download (flags, drowning) or to share on social media.School teachers are encouraged to print them out for the classroom.Lets save lives through sharing information.
A big thank you to Volvo
