The headlines are scary. It is something that we often do not think about - that the home could be a dangerous place.
one child a month drowns at home in England, with those aged under 5 being most at risk
the number of child drowning has tragically doubled over the last four years
Drowning is preventable, and our toad-ily awesome campaign, Splash Safety at your Pad, has been created to help provide young families with advice, hints and tips around how to enjoy water safely at home.
Areas of advice inluce:
Splash Safety in the garden.
Splash Safety in the bath.
Splash Safety around hot tubs.
Splash Safet around Bath Seats.
