Welsh Government has published a Code of Practice to Prevent the Spread of Ragwort. The Code sets out a measured and responsible approach explaining how land managers can assess whether control is needed. It takes account of the potential risks to horses, livestock and forage production, and also the value of common ragwort as a native plant that supports many species of wildlife. The guidance does not seek to eradicate ragwort or to control it indiscriminately.

Common ragwort is listed under the Weeds Act 1959, but its presence on land is not, in itself, an offence. Formal action may be taken only where the Rural Inspectorate for Wales has served a notice requiring action to prevent its spread, and where the occupier has unreasonably failed to comply.
