The RSPCA Research Animals Department and LASA (Education, Training and Ethics Sub-committee) have worked together to develop induction for new AWERB members.
Appropriate induction is key to supporting the participants in an establishment's AWERB. This is highlighted in the RSPCA and LASA Guiding Principles on Good Practice for AWERBs (3rd edition 2015, p.46).
The Home Office Guidance on the Operation of ASPA (1986) also recommends that establishments provide a “local [training] module” to “allow people fulfilling key roles to understand their own role within the local structure and how they personally contribute and work with others”. Similarly, the European Commission’s Working Document on Animal Welfare Bodies and National Committees (2014) states that members of Animal Welfare Bodies “should receive appropriate individual induction training and CPD”.
