Safety & Hygiene

We take health and safety very seriously at Ian's Mobile Farm, we have filled this page with as much relevant information as possible please feal free to download our risk assesment below.

 

We make our best efforts to ensure all our animals are in the best of health however with all farm animals and reptiles there is always a chance that they can potentially carry bacteria so it is essential that the points below are followed.

 

1)  Children should be explained to prior to our visit about not putting their fingers into their mouths or hands on their                 face. Teachers and helpers shoud constantly monitor the children.

2)  Please insure that no food ,sweets or drinks are consumed near the animals

3)  We provide a defra approved hand foam for everyone to use after the visit ,however it is now known that washing hands         well with warm water and soap is more effective which must be done immediately after the visit

4)  children should be watched to make sure they do not climb on the fencing or lick the fencing bars

5)  The animals should not be fed unless we give permission to do so.

6)  Pregnant womwn should avoid contact with expectant sheep and lambs

We place a strong emphasis on animal welfare, ensuring that all

 animals are treated with respect, compassion, and the highest

standard of care.

Ian’s Mobile Farm not only practices high standards of animal care but also educates the public—especially children—on the importance of animal welfare. Through its programs, the farm helps foster empathy and responsible behaviour toward animals.

 

Above all, the farm puts the animals’ wellbeing first. Participation in mobile events is rotated so no animal is overworked, and time is built into the schedule for rest and recovery.

 

This thoughtful approach ensures that animals at Ian’s Mobile Farm live healthy, enriched lives and are true ambassadors for

compassionate farming and education.

 

Ian’s Mobile Farm welcomes animals that have been abandoned,

 neglected, or can no longer be cared for by their previous owners. These may include animals from difficult backgrounds or those that have outgrown their original homes.


Through this compassionate approach, Ian’s Mobile Farm not only saves animals in need but also turns their stories into powerful lessons in kindness, responsibility, and hope
