During the summer holidays families and dogs are spending more time together, so Defra is encouraging key partners to continue sharing practical #DogSafety tips that families can use this summer.

Defra’s dog safety partner pack includes a range of downloadable resources to support dog safety communications both online and in person.

Defra has translated the dog safety factsheets into Polish, Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi and Arabic to support dog safety messaging being shared more widely. Newly translated materials can be downloaded at: Translated Fact Sheets | Child Safety Advice in Translation (capt.org.uk).

The Dogs Trust is also providing free dog safety masterclasses for parents and caregivers which may be of interest in local communities.

Further information on dog safety can be found here.
