This two day course will be held on 4th & 5th October at Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
The course will focus on the licensing requirements and exemptions to Zoo licensing. In addition there will be extra input in relation to specific areas of animal welfare licensing including performing animals and circuses.
The first day will focus on zoo licensing procedure, applications, dispensations and exemptions. We will also review the requirement for conservation work by the zoo with input from the Zoo's specialist on this.
On the second day the morning will be spent with staff from the zoo conducting a mock zoo inspection with mock inspection forms. We will have access to various species of animals and the expert knowledge of the zoo staff. The afternoon will include an inspection debrief with vet staff reviewing the inspection, question and answer session on the inspection, then presentations on inspectors reports, refusal to licence, covering reapplications for zoos, dispensations and appeal and what to do when a zoo closes.
The trainers are Dr Sarah & Julian Chapman, Chapman Zoo Consultancy.
Please Note: The non-member rate will include complimentary individual membership at the appropriate level until 31st March 2024.
