Great to see national and local government come together to look at the #drowning problem in Spain. The @RFESS1 have had a busy year with lives lost ! Working together helps. Something the UK could learn and support lifesaving organisations

Always good to attend a #SuicidePrevention event or conference and hear a shoutout for the excellent @Zer0Suicide online training. This is the ‘Let’s Talk About Suicide #Lancashire’ Conference and the speaker is @RNLIBlackpool

@suewilkinson13 @afPE_PE It’s been great to work with you Sue, you’ve been an incredible advocate for swimming. All the best for the future

The last day as afPE CEO, what a privilege it has been. A huge thank you to all of you who have shared the journey. I know you will keep PE front and central on everyone’s agenda. ⁦@afPE_PE⁩ Good to luck to Kate

We are worried to note that #VisionZero signatories in the SW are not following this model of *designing in safety*. The child safety zone Heavitree AST was cancelled to appease noisy protesters. This was the result. Please deliver #SafeStreetsNow

Great work from @RLSSUK and @NCMD_England to highlight a horrible growing trend. Requires lots of collaboration between @NWSFweb parters and crucially some non traditional water safety stakeholders
