Advisory Board

APGAW is supported by key bodies and individuals who are particularly relevant to animal welfare and well placed to bring about strategic change such as registration, industry/trade, membership, academic and enforcement bodies. These bodies sit on a advisory panel in which they advise on the strategy and they then take part in the work-streams coming from the strategy.

The Advisory Board includes:

RSPCA, PFMA, British Veterinary Association, Animal Health & Welfare Board England, World Horse Welfare, Animal Welfare Foundation, Kennel Club, Pet Industry Federation, National Farmers Union

Independent Advisors:

Professor Tim Morris (Animal Health & Welfare Board England)
Claire Horton (Animal Health & Welfare Board England)
