Drowning Prevention Week 2019

Lodged by Clare Adamson (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes Drowning Prevention Week 2019, which runs from 14 to 24 June; notes that the campaign, created by the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK), aims to reduce the number of drowning and non-fatal drowning incidences that occur in the UK every year by showing people how to be safe and have fun near water; recognises that over 700 people drown in the UK and Ireland every year and that many more suffer injury, sometimes life changing, when they survive drowning; understands that the campaign encourages schools, clubs, leisure centres and communities to promote water safety education through events, lessons, games and activities, in a bid to make people more aware of the dangers of water, and commends RLSS UK and partner agencies, such as Water Safety Scotland, on their ongoing efforts to promote water safety.
