Dear Early Learning and Care and School-Age Childcare Provider,
Water Safety Ireland has requested us to inform you that they are currently offering free educational visits to Early Learning and Care Settings and preschools across the country.
As part of these visits, a member of their Education Team will deliver the Hold Hands Water Safety Programme – a fun, interactive and age-appropriate session designed for children aged 3 – 5 years. The programme introduces young children to important water safety messages through engaging stories and activities, helping them to recognise potential dangers around water at home, on farms, at beaches, rivers, lakes, swimming pools and while on holiday. At the heart of the programme is one simple but potentially life-saving message: always hold an adult’s hand near water.
Educators who would like to arrange a free visit can do so by completing the booking form below:

Kind regards,
Early Learning and Care and School-Age Childcare Division
