Farm visit safety advice

If you're visiting a farm,  to help you enjoy your visit and keep you and your children safe, you should follow the guidance:

• remove and clean boots or shoes that might have become soiled
• clean pushchair wheels after you leave the farm
• don’t put hands on faces or fingers in mouths while petting animals or walking round the farm
• don't kiss farm animals or allow children to put their faces close to animals
• don't eat or drink anything while touching animals or walking round the farm
