Revision for Unit 3 AM

What is the legislation we must include in the Unit 3 exam?

Answer explanation

It is the Animal Welfare Act 2018. If you use the wrong legislation e.g. Welfare of Animal in Transport Order for an onsite small petting zoo. Then you are limited to band 1. So only use AWA 2018. Write in full the first time.

Which limits you to band 1 in Activity 1?

• Must be a balanced answer with good and poor welfare examples

• Ranking 5 poor welfare issues from most to least impact

• Not including 5 freedoms

• Not linking to the case study

Answer explanation

Must be a balanced answer with good and poor welfare examples - this limits you to band 2, if you don't do this, rather than band 1.

The evidence you would expect in the case study would be,

____ plan, individual enclosure layout, staffing ____, council _____, animal fact file including age, ____, distinguishing features, diet, health issues, treatments.

Vet details, staff training, number of animals per enclosure and staff daily procedures

What limits you to band 1 in Activity 3?

• Not including 5 freedoms

• Not ranking welfare issues from most impact to least

• Not being balanced

• Unrealistic timelines

Must rank 5 welfare issues you are going to give suggestions to solve. Unrealistic timelines means you'll be limited to band 1

Activity 1 Task.

Explain 2 welfare strengths and 2 welfare weaknesses from this evidence.

Activity 2 Task

Explain what is good about this evidence, and what information is missing. Expand to explain how you could have made a better welfare judgement, had the missing information had been added.

Activity 1 and 2

There is no rota in this evidence. What impact does that pose to welfare when looking at the information given here? Why is it important to have a rota in the evidence?

Activity 3

From all the evidence you've seen in the last 3 questions, give 3 proposals on how to improve the welfare of the animals. Link to the five freedoms and how they'll be positively impacted. Rank them from most to least impact and give realistic timelines.
