Brain has turned to mush from too much SEF!
What sort of things should my farm RA include?
TIA

so far mine has got:
lost/missing child policy
bites/stings - take bite cream
make sure children wash hands after touching the animals
so i'll be watching to see what others have :D

Double checking with parents if child has fur/feather allergies.

If it's a children's farm you're visiting they should have their own RA so worth asking for a copy of that.

HSE do a factsheet on safety for visits to farmparks too.

Injury from plants- nettles, brambles, allergies, hayfever, poisonous plants, trailing plants near eyes/faces etc.
Terrain- steep slopes, rough ground, muddy or slippy areas when wet
Water hazards- ponds, lakes, drinking troughs
Poo! in paddocks, from free ranging poultry etc.
Don't forget the adults, pregnant ladies should stay away from sheep, etc.
