The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department has had discussions with social media companies regarding the promotion of public water safety awareness campaigns.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

While the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has not held specific discussions with social media companies on this matter, the Government takes public water safety extremely seriously. Water safety is a cross-government priority, with lead responsibilities sitting with departments including the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Health and Safety Executive. These departments and their partner agencies routinely utilise social media platforms to amplify vital water safety awareness campaigns and ensure these messages reach the public.
