Today marks the launch of @RLSSUK's Don't Drink and Drown campaign. The campaign aims to raise awareness of the dangers of being near water when under the influence of alcohol. #DontDrinkandDrown

More than 85% of alcohol and/or drug-related drownings were male. Make sure your brother, son, uncle, dad and grandad get home safe. Follow @RLSSUK's #DontDrinkandDrown campaign www.rlss.org.uk/dont-drink-and-drown

A mate doesn't let another mate walk home alone, near the water - find a better route home. Stay safe. Plan a safe route away from water. Look after one another. Follow @RLSSUK's #DontDrinkandDrown campaign #BeAMate

Every year on average there are 73 fatal alcohol and/or drug-related accidental drownings. Stay safe. Plan a safe route away from water. Look after one another. Follow @RLSSUK's #DontDrinkandDrown campaign #BeAMate

Stay safe in winter - the dangers of frozen waters

In winter, children and pets are particularly at risk when tempted to play on the ice formed on open water, and adults can find themselves at risk in attempting to save them.

Taking a nice walk in cold weather with your family, friends or dogs in tow can be really refreshing, just make sure you know some simple tips on how to stay safe in winter.

Areas with frozen lakes, ponds, canals and reservoirs can be beautiful places to visit during the winter months but all too often many people risk their lives by venturing onto frozen water. Here are some useful tips to help you know what to do in an emergency.

What to do if you fall through the ice:

1. Keep calm and shout for 'help'

2. Spread your arms across the surface of the ice in front of you

3. If the ice is strong enough, kick your legs to slide onto the ice

4. Lie flat and pull yourself towards the bank

5. If the ice breaks, work your way to the bank-breaking the ice in front of you anyway

6. If you cannot climb out, wait for help and keep as still as possible. Preserve heat by pressing your arms by your side and keep your legs together. Keep your head clear of the water

7. Once you are safe, go to hospital immediately for a check up

What to do if you see someone fall through the ice:

1. Shout for assistance and phone the emergency services - call 999 or 112

2. Do not walk or climb onto the ice to attempt a rescue

3. Shout to the casualty to 'keep still' and offer reassurance to keep them calm

4. Try and reach them from the bank using a rope, pole, tree branch, clothing tied together or anything else which can extend your reach

5. When reaching from the bank, lie down to avoid being pulled onto the ice

6. If you cannot reach them, slide something which floats, such as a plastic bottle or football, across the ice for them to hold onto to stay afloat whilst help is on the way

7. If the casualty is too far away, do not attempt to rescue them. Wait for the emergency services while calming and reassuring the casualty

What to do after the casualty has been rescued from the ice:

1. Make sure the ambulance is on its way

2. Lay the casualty flat, check for normal breathing and begin resuscitation if necessary

3. Prevent them from getting colder by covering them with warm clothing, blankets etc.

4. Get them out of the cold under cover or create some shelter around them

5. Until the casualty is in a warm place, do not undress them

6. Do not rub their skin, do not apply hot water bottles and do not give an alcoholic drink

7. Keep them wrapped up so they warm up gradually

Make sure you share these safety tips with your friends and family

Drowning is preventable, yet over 300 lives are lost to drowning across the UK and Ireland each year. Water safety education is vital and, in some instances, could be a child’s only opportunity to learn about the water. We believe that water safety information should be accessible to all.
