About the Farm Safe Schools Programme

The Farm Safe Schools Programme is on a mission to Engage, Educate and Empower children to be our farm safety ambassadors.

That's why AgriKids, Agri Aware and the IFA want your school to get involved in the 'Farm Safe Schools' programme in 2022
By registering your school or class you have made the first step in helping create a safer future on our farms, for everyone!
Complete all three modules and your school will be accredited a 'Farm-Safe School'.

Martin Heydon T.D., Minister of State with  responsibility for Farm Safety 

As Minister with responsibility for Farm Safety, I am delighted to be able to support the Farm Safe Schools Programme for 2022 following on from the successful pilot of the programme in 2021. It is important that farm safety is tackled at every level and I know that children can play an important role in improving the culture of safety on our farms by bringing the safety message home to their families.  Read more
