Since April 2021, the Welsh Government has directly commissioned a range of educational materials for use by students in schools, colleges and universities as well as farmers, at a total cost of £110,416.
Materials for students include resource to support the teaching and learning of specific courses; short video clips of experts within the agricultural industry, in which they explain the H&S principles of specific tasks; and a resource for agriculture students who are specifically concentrating on improving their understanding of business concepts in a context of running and managing a farm.
Included within this total is also the Welsh Government’s funding to the Wales Farm Safety Partnership for the production of Farm Safety information booklets aimed at farmers; case studies and press adverts highlighting the dangers on farm and how to implement safe working practices; and promotional materials including farm waning signs and fliers on driving ATVs.
Welsh Government has also committed a further £104,297 on developing educational resources to support the teaching and learning of agriculture. Some are directly linked to farm safety, whilst others may touch on this topic as part of a wider resource. The material is currently in development.
