Rural SafeGuard is hosting two free Rural Crime Reduction Workshops, delivered in partnership with the South Pennine Farmers’ Group and facilitated by Chartered Security Professionals Frank Cannon and Charlie Frank, co-hosts of the Close the Farm Gate podcast Designed for farmers, land managers, rural businesses and professionals working across the countryside, this practical workshop will help delegates understand criminal tactics, identify vulnerabilities, assess and prioritise crime risks, and implement affordable, proportionate measures to better protect their businesses and assets. The workshop is focused on raising awareness, reducing complacency, and equipping attendees with practical knowledge not creating security specialists. Participants will also learn where to access trusted and verified support.

Farm health and safety works best when it is part of everyday practice, not something addressed after an incident.  We are looking forward to the NFU Health and Safety Event in Herefordshire on Friday, 5th June 2026, focusing on current farm safety challenges.  The event will bring together NFU representatives, industry specialists, and farmers for a morning of expert-led sessions, followed by practical demonstrations and opportunities to connect and share experiences.  You will find us in the exhibitor area, so please do come and say hello at the Rural Safeguard™ stand and speak with Frank Cannon CSyP and Charlie Frank CSyP MSyl RISC about practical, real-world approaches to improving safety on your farm.
