Would you, or anyone you know, like to help shape Scottish SPCA policy? We are looking for volunteers to conduct literature reviews for our wildlife, farm animal and companion animal ethics and policy subcommittees. Applicants will support the remit of the main group which is: • to consider ethical implications of current and future policies and procedures and provide advice, guidance and recommendations; • to improve animal welfare in Scotland for companion, wild and farm animals through creation and adoption of appropriate guidelines; • to increase public awareness of what good animal welfare is; • to improve care provided through enhanced facilities and veterinary services to decrease issues regarding individual species. The workload and time commitment will be agreed between the volunteer and the subcommittee Chair(s) on an individual basis. The expectation is that the time commitment will usually involve around 10 hours per month, in order to support meaningful progress. Please share this with anyone who might be interested: https://volunteer.scottishspca.org/opportunities/33453-ethics-policy-committee-literature-reviewer-home-based-role-2022-06-01<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvolunteer.scottishspca.org%2Fopportunities%2F33453-ethics-policy-committee-literature-reviewer-home-based-role-2022-06-01&data=05%7C01%7Ch.m.buchanan-smith%40stir.ac.uk%7C68423b1bf27a4f1a5f1308da552b3c35%7C4e8d09f7cc794ccb9149a4238dd17422%7C0%7C0%7C637915941549555562%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=FRKn%2FTEGWqkNK03cO%2B2V6RsVSC%2BM3JMNBPloPLuRlc0%3D&reserved=0> Lee-ann Howieson Public Affairs Advisor Scottish SPCA 03000 999 999 Public.Affairs@scottishspca.org<mailto:Public.Affairs@scottishspca.org> [Here For All Animals email sig] <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgfidisc.scottishspca.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ch.m.buchanan-smith%40stir.ac.uk%7C68423b1bf27a4f1a5f1308da552b3c35%7C4e8d09f7cc794ccb9149a4238dd17422%7C0%7C0%7C637915941549555562%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=9ODnaeZx%2BrgqU7JfoVOjTY%2FtFr4yLIMfWj18W%2FHTfuk%3D&reserved=0> ________________________________ Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Scottish SPCA) Tel: 03000 999 999 www.scottishspca.org/join<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottishspca.org%2Fjoin&data=05%7C01%7Ch.m.buchanan-smith%40stir.ac.uk%7C68423b1bf27a4f1a5f1308da552b3c35%7C4e8d09f7cc794ccb9149a4238dd17422%7C0%7C0%7C637915941549555562%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=3PsGXqxAbKnDNNw1r0CFphB25DAR3Epo4UHKn9WaFnE%3D&reserved=0> www.scottishspca.org/rehoming<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottishspca.org%2Frehoming&data=05%7C01%7Ch.m.buchanan-smith%40stir.ac.uk%7C68423b1bf27a4f1a5f1308da552b3c35%7C4e8d09f7cc794ccb9149a4238dd17422%7C0%7C0%7C637915941549555562%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=wyGqBqz9hAMqBQGQ%2B4dcVqgZLvTu36H1x%2Bevdqa2yB4%3D&reserved=0> Scottish Charity No. SC 006467 This message is confidential.
