 Wakefield District Water Safety Group has created a hard-hitting video to   help educate people on   the dangers of swimming in open water and ultimately   reduce water-related incidents and   fatalities.

 It tells the stories of three fictional individuals and the impact their deaths   have on loved ones. It   has been produced by the Council and the partners who   make up the Wakefield District Water   Safety Group.

 In the last year alone, across our district, two young people lost their lives by   drowning in open   water. The total number of water fatalities in 2022, across   West Yorkshire, stands at seven.

 Being online is an important part of how young people ‘do’ relationships. Young people are using online spaces for their social and romantic lives. They told us that they would like their parents and carers to talk with them more about this. We know that these topics aren’t always easy to talk about, so #AskTheAwkward has been created to help you to explore online relationships with your secondary aged children, making these conversations part of everyday life.

 When two people share responsibility for a child, no matter whether they are still together or separated, the relationship between them has a direct impact on the mental health of their children.

 Please take a moment to look at our Risk and Resilience document.  It contains helpful advice and ideas on supporting your children and helping them to have resilience when they are faced with key events or difficult situations.
