In June 2021, Water Safety Ireland launched the Hold Hands water safety programme to over 4,000 Early Learning and Care Centres nationwide.

The resource pack contains six vibrant storyboards which aim to grab children's imagination and highlight potential water safety dangers at home, on farms, on the beach, at rivers, lakes and on holiday. The resource pack also includes a cleverly designed pointer, shaped like a hand, so whenever a child engages with Hold Hands, they are physically holding a hand to reinforce the behavioural change the lessons are trying to instil.
