It's a year since the largest outbreak of e-coli linked to an open farm in the UK. 93 people were affected by the incident at Godstone Farm in Surrey and 27 - mostly children - were hospitalised. The Griffin report recommended that farms should change their layouts and reduce public contact with animal faeces but also that parents bear some responsibility to ensure children wash their hands properly after farm visits. Cath Mackie heads to a farm park in Staffordshire to see how farms balance their desire to educate the public with the cost and responsibility of keeping everyone safe. Produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.
