Take a look at our new research into local authority approaches to managing water safety in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Our research found that just 22 per cent of local authorities have a discreet strategy for water safety.

[Tony Wafer @TonyJWafer]

@DavidJWalks And shareable! 👍

[Tony Wafer @TonyJWafer]

@DavidJWalks Smaller scale but @Sinstance and I have plan to run a ‘what works’ intervention session in Q4. Something the college of policing have done successfully so 👀 at the model for our local teams. Easily expandable. Need flexible approach-academic evidence to professional judgment

[Tony Wafer @TonyJWafer]

@DavidJWalks Thanks Dave 🤝 Inspiration through some bloody good people past and present.

[Tony Wafer @TonyJWafer]

Proud of the career I’ve followed the past 20+ years contributing a small part in making the coast a slightly safer place. Some phenomenal work around the globe to combat this issue and hoping I’m part of the ongoing journey. Too many unnecessary lives lost 💔😢 #RespectTheWater

Great to be involved in this piece of work.

[Maritime and Coastguard Agency @MCA_media]

16 people might have been saved in 2020 had they worn a lifejacket or buoyancy aid according to recent findings

The panel also revealed that over the past 14 years, more than 200 lives could have been saved
