With Halloween, Diwali and Bonfire Night all quickly approaching this is one of the most exciting times of the year. But it can also bring additional safety challenges. So, to help keep children safe this season we’ve got some free resources. ➡️ capt.org.uk/resource-topic…

Today is World #DrowningPrevention Day. Make sure you are aware of water risks and know what to do if you fall in. ➡️ firescotland.gov.uk/outdoors/water… In 2023, 236 people accidentally drowned in the UK, with 50% not intending to enter the water. Anyone can drown. Nobody should.
