Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service have teamed up with the RNLI to deliver their Waterside Responder Scheme in Cheshire. So far, they’ve trained 125 people and issued 18 throwlines, delivering sessions to local businesses and community groups.
The scheme is open to waterside businesses, door staff, restaurant staff, wardens, waterside community members, and anyone who works near the water.
If you’d like to arrange training for your team or community group to help someone in difficulty in the water, please contact water.safety@cheshirefire.gov.uk.
