Phone, Float & Throw Water Safety Campaign
If we see someone in trouble in the water, our instinct can often be to jump in to try and save them. But entering the water yourselves is dangerous and can put you at risk of drowning too.
Instead, if you see someone in trouble, remember Phone Float Throw.
- Phone 999 to get help
- Tell the person in the water to stay calm and float on their back
- Throw rescue equipment to help them float until emergency services arrive
This message is important year-round, but especially now as warmer weather encourages more children and young people to play near open water.
Calling all professionals: Please share this important message through your networks to help keep children and young people in our district safe in and around water.
