Makaton Water Safety Symbols (Long Version)

Learning to stay safe around water is important for everyone and the messages are to be shared with both children and their parents and carers.

 Symbol resources in Makaton and Widgit have been created to support learning of the water safety code which is to:

  • Stop and think
  • Stay together
  • Float
  • Call 999

 There is a long and short symbolised version of this resource.

Designed by Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service and Gareth Smith, Makaton Ambassador and in collaboration with Severndale Academy, RLSS UK and RNLI.
