Drowning Prevention Week 2019
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes Drowning Prevention Week 2019, which runs from 14 to 24 June; notes that the campaign, which has been created by the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK), aims to reduce the number of drowning and non-fatal drowning incidents that occur in the UK every year by showing people how to be safe, and have fun, near water; understands that over 700 people drown in the UK and Ireland every year and that many more experience injuries, sometimes life changing, when they survive drowning; recognises 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 its partner agencies, such as Water Safety Scotland, on these ongoing efforts to promote water safety.
