Makaton Water Safety Video

This resource is a Makaton signing video about water safety.  Makaton is a multi-modal using speech, signs and symbols.  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 are also Makaton water safety symbols in both long and short versions to accompany this resource.  

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