This water safety resource bundle for secondary school students has been developed to support Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service and schools in delivering engaging, relevant, and impactful safety education. The materials encourage young people to explore real-life risks associated with water, understand the potential consequences of unsafe behaviour, and learn how to respond effectively in an emergency. Through interactive activities, discussions, and multimedia content, students build awareness, confidence, and the skills needed to make informed decisions around water.
