Almost 600 children submitted a hand painted or hand drawn picture relating to a key Farm Safety topic.

In their entries the children highlighted some of the many hazards involved when working with animals, slurry, equipment, and the risks of working at height.

Romaine, pictured here with her mother Alison Killough, and the other 11 winners received a £30 gift voucher and their entry will feature in the 2021 Child Safety on Farms calendar which will be launched later this year and distributed to around 42,000 rural homes across Northern Ireland.
