Being able to swim is not enough. Make sure your child knows the risks around open water.

Here’s the reality:

❗You can’t see what’s under the water. Rocks, drops, currents - it’s not worth guessing.
🏊Cold water hits HARD. Even strong swimmers can panic and lose control.
💨Inflatables are not safe in open water. One gust of wind and you’re gone - fast.
👬Pressure isn't friendship. Real mates don’t push you into danger.

Speak Up. Be a Mate

It starts as a joke…

Then suddenly, it’s serious.
Cold water. Hidden dangers. No second chances.
If it feels off — it is.
Say something. Stop it. Be a mate.

Oxygen therapy is vital for those with severe respiratory conditions, using specialised equipment to deliver oxygen via nasal cannula or face mask.

If you use oxygen therapy or care for someone who does, make sure you keep these safety tips in mind:
- Store oxygen equipment away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ensure it's dry and well-ventilated.
- No smoking (including e-cigarettes) while using oxygen.
- Avoid matches, candles, or any open flames near oxygen equipment.
- Keep oxygen supplies away from gas stoves and fires.
- Turn off oxygen when not in use.

For further guidance, we recommend contacting your oxygen supplier.

We offer free Home Fire Safety visits to assess safety measures and install smoke alarms if needed. For more information, visit www.dwfire.org.uk/safe-and-well-visits/
