    Whilst there are thousands of them dotted across the country, farms are a very unique place of work. And the reason for this is that farms are the livelihood of the farmers themselves and almost always, the farmers live on the farm. This means, if the farmers have children, the children are also on the farm and in many cases, they will work on the farm, often from a young age.   But just like any workplace and any home, accidents can happen and some of these are serious.   Today we have 3 guests who each have a different role to play in farm safety for children and are coming to this conversation from different perspectives.    RCH, Farm Safety Fact Sheet https://www.rch.org.au/kidsinfo/fact_sheets/Farm_Safety/   VFF, Child Safety on Farms Guidebook Available with additional information: https://www.makingourfarmssafer.org.au/resources/child-safety-on-farm-handbook/ Direct link for handbook: https://www.makingourfarmssafer.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/VFF-Child-Safety-on-Farms-Guidebook-PDF.pdf   Kidsafe Victoria, Farm Safety Information and resources https://www.kidsafevic.com.au/home-safety/farm-safety-creative-competition/ Direct link to parent guide to farm safety: https://www.kidsafevic.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/202204-Kidsafe-Parents-Guide-to-Farms-web-version.pdf Direct link to farm safety checklist: https://www.kidsafevic.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Farm-Safety-Checklist_Digital.pdf   Victorian Better Health Channel, Farm Safety Information https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/farm-safety-children   Royal Life Saving Australia, Farm Water Safety https://www.royallifesaving.com.au/stay-safe-active/locations/farm-water-safety
