Farm Visits

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
