As children spend more time on farms during the summer holidays, it's important to keep safety front of mind. 🌾☀️

Whether they're helping out, visiting family or simply being part of everyday farm life, children are often more present on farms during the school break. While farms offer great opportunities to learn and explore, they're also busy working environments with potential hazards.

Our Children on Farms e-learning course helps farmers, landowners and agricultural workers understand their responsibilities and take practical steps to keep children safe around the farm.

This summer, take the time to refresh your knowledge and help ensure the next generation can enjoy farm life safely.
