Widgit 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:

  1. The longer symbolised version of the water safety code to help people understand what to do in an emergency if they fall in or if they see someone else who has fallen into water.
  2. Short symbolised poster version as a revision guide to help remember the key points of the water safety code as above.

The short version of this resource and also the Makaton version can be found linked below.

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