Safeguarding & well being
At Frampton Farm, the safety and wellbeing of our students are our highest priority. We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every learner feels valued and supported. All staff receive regular safeguarding and first aid training, and we follow strict policies in line with current government guidance to protect children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
We understand that many of our learners have additional needs or may require extra emotional support. Our experienced team takes time to get to know each student, offering individual learning plans, 1:1 support where needed, and a calm, understanding approach that helps every learner build confidence and resilience.
Students are always encouraged to talk to a member of staff if they feel worried or need support — we’re here to listen and help.
Support for When Things Feel Overwhelming
We understand that learning new skills and being in a group environment can sometimes feel overwhelming. To support our students, we provide timeout cards and a dedicated safe timeout area where learners can take a short break if they need to. This space allows students to regain calm and focus before returning to activities, helping them feel more confident and comfortable while continuing to engage in their learning.
Individual learning Plans
At Frampton Farm, we recognise that every student is unique, with their own strengths, interests, and learning needs. That’s why we provide Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) for all our learners. These plans outline personalised goals, support strategies, and progress tracking, ensuring that each student receives the guidance and resources they need to thrive both practically and academically. ILPs are regularly reviewed with students and staff to make sure learning is meaningful, achievable, and tailored to each individual.
Encouraging Positive Behaviour
At Frampton Farm, we promote a positive and respectful learning environment where every student feels valued. We encourage learners to take responsibility for their actions, show kindness and respect to others, and engage fully with their learning. Positive behaviour is recognised and rewarded, helping students build confidence, develop social skills, and feel proud of their achievements. Our supportive approach ensures that everyone can thrive safely and happily while enjoying practical activities with our animals and in the farm environment.

This combination of knowledge and hands-on experience prepares you for confident, safe, and effective animal care. The unit includes two practical assignments and one theory assignment to consolidate your learning.
In this part of the unit, you will learn about daily regimes for animals and the relevant legislation that governs their care.
