Lucas Dobson Water
Safety Campaign

The Lucas Dobson campaign was established by Peter Faulding, a Search & Rescue expert and owner of Specialist Group International, alongside Nathan Dobson, Lucas Dobson’s father, following the tragic loss of Lucas in 2019. Their mission is simple but powerful: to ensure that no child or family suffers a similar tragedy, and to equip students with the knowledge and confidence to stay safe around water.

Peter Faulding is passionate about making water safety education available to every child — and ultimately, he hopes to see it included in the national curriculum. Thanks to his dedication, this project is fully funded by Specialist Group International (SGI), making school visits completely free.

Each session is designed to be interactive, engaging, and age-appropriate, covering topics such as:
• Recognising water hazards in everyday environments
• Understanding safe behaviours around rivers, lakes, and pools
• Basic rescue awareness and emergency procedures

A key part of the campaign’s mission is to make water safety accessible to all children and families:
• We aim to see Lucas Dobson lifejackets available in every school across the UK.
• We would like families to be able to automatically borrow a lifejacket when planning a trip or day out involving water.

A visit from the campaign provides students with practical knowledge they can use immediately, while fostering a culture of awareness, responsibility, and readiness around water.

We would be delighted to bring this free and vital educational experience to your school.

To discuss availability and schedule a visit, simply reply to this email or call us on 01306 889969.

Your school’s participation will help spread the message of water safety — and ultimately, save lives
