Document type : seminar announcement from EURCAW-Pigs
Preview : EURCAW-Pigs develops standards for training in pig welfare on-farm, during transport and in slaughterhouses. During this online workshop, draft standard courses are discussed with National training capacities - such as national reference centres - developing training at national level in EU.
The focus is on training of inspectors in the member-states, i.e. further training/education needed to keep the inspectors up to date on legislation, new science, dilemmas between legislation and praxis in relation to pig-welfare in the whole chain (on-farm, transport, slaughter).
Dates: October 26-27. Online
Objectives
- To discuss and promote reflection on the usefulness of training of inspectors of animal welfare in European member states.
- To get feedback to EURCAW-Pigs on our suggestions for standard training of inspectors (in relation to EURCAW's dossiers and indicators).
Two examples for training courses will be presented and discussed during the workshop. Participants will also hear about how training is organised in Sweden and France, which may provide some inspiration.
An important part of the workshop is that EURCAW representatives will conduct meetings with representatives from each country, and the results of these meetings will be presented in plenum. These meetings will be one-hour interviews.
