HELP US, HELP YOU - TAKE A SELFIE Today is National selfie day.
When you’re heading to the beach take a selfie with all the family as soon as you get there.
... An up to date photo of your children, including what they are wearing that day, will be a massive help to the Coastguard and other Emergency Services if you report your children as missing.
Children are notorious for wandering off and going on adventures without telling anyone.
They are usually only missing for a very short period of time but seconds count so please #KnowWhoToCall if someone goes missing at the beach or along the coast.
#NationalSelfieDay
In a coastal, beach or cliff emergency dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
