This water safety resource bundle for primary-aged children has been developed to support Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service and schools in delivering engaging and effective safety education. Through a range of interactive activities, discussions, and multimedia materials, the resources help children understand how to stay safe in and around water. Key messages include recognising hazards, making safe choices, and knowing what to do in an emergency, all presented in a fun, age-appropriate way.
