UK Drowning Prevention Strategy Review published

As we approach and plan for the next iteration of the UK Drowning Prevention Strategy (UK DPS), the National Water Safety Forum has been working to review the successes and progress made so far under the current strategy.

The resulting report, the UK DPS Review - A future without drowning, is now available to download from the NWSF website.

It details progress made on individual targets, selected case studies promoting examples of best practice and impact, approaches in the devolved nations, and a review of drowning data against the UK DPS baseline.
