New water safety curriculum changes coming this September.

From September, the Water Safety Code will be included in the updated RSHE statutory guidance for schools in England, making water safety education a mandatory part of the Health and Wellbeing: Personal Safety curriculum requirements.

Now is the time to get prepared. By embedding these life-saving skills into your teaching, you can help pupils build the knowledge and confidence to stay safe in, on, and around water.

We’re here to support you with ready-to-use resources designed for primary, secondary, and SEND settings.

✅ Get ahead and start planning now
✅ Access free tools to support delivery
✅ Help equip young people with vital life-saving knowledge
