The FCAW for teachers programme is for all who share the belief that education can help build a world where animal welfare matters, and animal cruelty ends.

The Programme is relevant for all those active in one of the following Partnership groups: 

  • National and local governments, ministries of education and other relevant decision-making departments
  • Teachers, lecturers, trainers and support staff; teacher training and professional development providers 
  • NGO’s, charities and voluntary bodies from animal welfare, humane education, environmental education sectors, or other related areas

What are the main animal welfare education learning outcomes?

  • To know that animals have needs, that humans interact with other animals, that we share our environment with other living beings
  • To understand how human actions can affect animals and other living beings and that as a result we owe them a duty of care. To understand that we are frequently faced with  moral dilemmas and that people hold different opinions
  • To acquire skills of effective communication (so that we may better explain our ideas and responsibilities), demonstrating appropriate levels of care and of empathy
  • To develop and show attitudes of kindness, respect, responsibility

Animal welfare education can be integrated into Literacy, Science, Geography, Drama/Arts or IT, or be part of informal education, lifelong learning initiatives and the youth activity groups sector.

Quality assurance within the FCAW Programme
It is not WSPA’s intention to coordinate the work of other Partners, or to set or oversee standards in AWE. However, it does propose, for consideration by others, achievable minimum standards it feels are required to gain the professional confidence of those who share the goals of this Programme.
