Water Safety for Little Explorers

Water safety is an important part of a child's education, and even very young children can learn how to be safe near water.

Our Water Safety for Little Explorers campaign aims to give parents and carers the confidence to start talking to their young children about staying safe near water. Along with the film above, we have created some free activities and resources suitable for the under 5s, aimed at helping children learn about staying safe near water. You can use these at home or in nursery. See the guidance notes for info on how to use the activities.
