On farm visit you must:
- avoid touching faces or putting fingers in mouths while in farm environments
- not kiss farm animals or allow children to put their faces close to animals
- wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after touching animals, fences or other surfaces in animal areas
- not eat or drink while touching animals or walking round the farm and only eat and drink in picnic areas or cafes
- wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before eating or drinking
- remove and clean boots or shoes that might have become soiled and clean pushchair wheels then wash hands thoroughly with soap and water
- not use gels or wipes instead of washing hands with soap and water – gels and wipes don’t remove E. coli
- supervise children closely to make sure they wash their hands thoroughly
