RESPONSIBILITY AND LEGAL OBLIGATIONS
Farm animals may carry a number of infections that can be harmful to people. Whilst every effort will be made to minimise these risks, we request that visitors read the HM Government guidelines on "Avoiding Infection on Farm Visits" and thoroughly wash their hands at the end of the session.
Although working with animals has many benefits it should be remembered that animals are unpredictable. There are also areas of muddy and significantly uneven ground so please take care when walking around.
Should any persons attending Cultivating Life Skills become aggressive towards one of our staff and/or animals we reserve the right to make a decision whether or not it is appropriate for us to continue with the sessions.

We may, where we consider it appropriate for the protection of participants or other persons, suspend, withdraw, or restrict aspects of the program. We will tell you as soon as practicable if we take such action.
