The Royal Life Saving Society's UK Drowning Prevention Week takes place this week from 13 to 20 June. 

Drowning Prevention Week educates children aged 5 to 17 with crucial water safety advice just before the summer holidays, when young people are outdoors more and need these skills so everyone can enjoy water safely.

Councils are encouraged to share this information with parents and carers.
