Other considerations when considering first aid needs should include;
• The numbers in the group and the nature of the activity.
• The likely injuries and how effective first aid will be.
• The distance of the nearest hospital.
• First aid should be available and accessible at all times.

Children with Special Educational needs
Before the planned outing we would already beware of the child’s special need, therefore have an
understanding of their limitations and problems that they may incur on the outing. Any issues we
would consider whilst doing the risk assessment. We would take the following factors into
consideration;
• Is the child capable of taking part in and benefiting from the activity?
• Can the activity be adapted to enable the child to participate at a suitable level?
• Will additional/ different resources be necessary?
• Is the child able to follow and understand instructions?
• Will additional supervision be necessary?

Safety Procedures for Farm Visits
Infections may arise from visits to farms and contact with animals. Important points of safety are as
follows,

• Children who have handled animals must wash their hands thoroughly as soon as possible.
• Children should never kiss the animals.
• Regardless to whether the children have touched the animals, they must wash their hands
thoroughly under running water after they have been with the animals, before they eat and when
they leave the farm.
• Children must not put anything in their mouths, which have fallen onto the ground e.g. food,
pencils/crayons.
• A waterproof dressing should cover cuts and grazes on children’s hands.
• Children’s shoes should be changed/cleaned after leaving the farm, and hands must be washed
after doing so.
• The local Environmental Safety Officer (number in the telephone directory) should be contacted
before the nursery visits any farms to check there have not been any recent incidents.
