Young farmers clubs new course on rural crime prevention

A new course has been created by young farmers and the police to help young farmers reduce crime on the farms they work on.

The bespoke training course – Helping Farmers to Prevent Crime – has been developed by the National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs (NFYFC) and the Police Crime Prevention Academy (the Academy), in association with NFU Mutual.

Inspired by an initiative started by Cumbria Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs (YFCs) with their local Neighbourhood Watch, the course will roll out across all of the 577 YFCs across England and Wales from April 24.
