Complete Your Code Application Workshop
This course is for existing care farmers or green care providers who have started a Code of Practice application and would like support to complete it.
The GCF care farming Code of Practice is essentially a minimum standard - a clear set of guidelines, intended to meet the requirements of commissioners, other referral agencies and service users. It was developed by a team of care farmers and other specialists and we encourage all those providing care farming services to adopt the Code (including farm and garden sites delivering other green care services such as Social &Therapeutic Horticulture (STH) and Animal Assisted Therapies (AAT)).
The Code of Practice is managed by Social Farms & Gardens and is a site-specific application. It is achieved through a process of self-assessment of care farming elements organised into three sections.
At this course, you will be led through the Code section by section, so that an application can be submitted at the end of the event (or in the following week as appropriate). You will need to arrive at the event with all the relevant policies and evidence from your organisation on your laptops and will have made an attempt at starting the application prior to the event.
Who should attend: Existing care farmers and green care providers who have started a Code of Practice application and are up to date with their Code of Practice fee (please contact [email protected] if you need to check this). You will need to bring your own laptop with your own relevant policies and application form on this.
