Drowning Prevention Strategy
The Drowning Prevention Strategy for the tidal Thames sets out practical steps to be taken to improve waterside safety for people close to the river.
We are committed to reducing the number of people who drown in the tidal Thames, either accidentally or through suicide.
As a founder member of the Tidal Thames Water Safety Forum, we work alongside HM Coastguard, RNLI, London Fire Brigade, Metropolitan Police (Marine Policing Unit), London Ambulance Service, City of London Corporation, TfL, and City of London Police in London.
In Kent and Essex we are working alongside HM Coastguard, RNLI, Kent Fire and Rescue, Essex Fire and Rescue, Kent Police, Essex Police, Southeast Coast Ambulance Service, Gravesham Borough Council and Rochester Bridge Trust.
Together we are working to make the river a safe place for all users.
