Professional Emergency Services
& Lifeboat Training

Being safe around water is vital for everyone. SARA provides training and education to the wider community through a variety of routes. These include:

School Visits

The SARA stations frequently host visits from and undertakes visits to local primary schools, Scouts and Guides Units, etc. These are designed to be educational as well as fun, informing young people of the dangers of the water and other aspects of the local area of which they may be unaware.

Outreach Activities

SARA frequently particulates in relevant ‘community outreach’ activities such as the Drowning Awareness Weeks, again providing education about the avoidance of risks as well as information concerning SARA and other emergency Services.

Emergency Services Training

For the Emergency Services, SARA provides lifeboat training. For example, SARA Beachley has an ongoing relationship with the South West Ambulance Services Trust to provide structured, water-based rescue training for members of their Hazardous Area Response Teams (HART).

This provides specialist knowledge, training and experience of working with boats, including in the tidal waters of the Severn Estuary.

In addition SARA has a number of water safety leaflets available for download and free use

Being prepared is the first step to staying safe. Find a few resources below, including our free water safety leaflets, which are available for download and community use.
