Details

The ASC has a responsibility to take such steps as it sees necessary, and to advise AWERBs, on the diffusion of ‘best practice’ relating to the acquisition, breeding, accommodation, care and use of animals protected under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, as amended.

To help fulfil this mandate, the ASC developed an AWERB network, based around regional ‘hub’ AWERBs. The original support note was published in 2017. This revised and updated version reflects the developing hub structure and will continue act as a reference point for the chairs of these regional hub AWERBs. As a living document, it will continue to be shaped and refreshed by contributions from the hubs and member AWERBs.
