## Notice

Home Office Courses : PIL A&B E2PPL, PIL Refresher NACWO and NACWO Refresher. The Animal(Scientific Procedures)Act 1986 regulates the use of protected animals in any experimental or other scientific procedure which may cause pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm to the animal. It is an underlying principle of the Act that animals bred, supplied and used for scientific procedures are cared for in accordance with the best standards of modern animal husbandry. The regulated procedures covered by this Act are controlled using a licensing system enforced by the Home Office - and we have used Red Kite Veterinary consultants for this training for the last 8 years.
