Animals in Education Award
Recognising excellent animal welfare
The awards recognise the fantastic effort colleges and schools put into providing excellent facilities for the animals in their care.
Blue Cross education development manager Tracy Genever wants to rewards schools and colleges that:
"Successfully juggle the demands of a course where lots of students need access
to animals while, at the same time, maintaining strong animal welfare principles"
