Reservoir safety Applies to - All schools
Status - External
United Utilities have recently launched our annual campaign to warn teens and parents about the dangers of swimming in reservoirs.
We were very saddened to hear that a North West teenager drowned in a reservoir a couple of weeks ago, and are using a combination of social media, press and schools outreach activity to communicate the dangers.
I have included some template press/marketing materials that may prove useful if you seeking to get this message across to local residents ahead of the school summer holidays. You will find:

Click here to view - Unbranded artwork for Facebook/Twitter post (more versions available)
We also have a short, unbranded video that you are welcome to use – aimed at a teen audience. You can view it here: https://vimeo.com/223612803 (password: Deadly)
