Code of Best Practice for Animal Welfare Establishments

The Code explains what Animal Welfare Establishments (AWE) need to do to meet the standard of care required under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. The Code of Practice is intended to encourage those responsible for looking after animals in the care of AWEs to adopt the highest standards of husbandry. It outlines the framework for delivering exemplary levels of care that should also be demonstrated. These should be universally recognised as the benchmark for all individuals and organisations charged with the care of animals. This Code also provides an outline of the various administrative aspects of operating an AWE.
