Considering the endorsed EU guidance document on Inspections and Enforcement, this module covers the EU Education and Training (E&T) Framework Learning Outcomes (LOs) for Inspectors.
This module is aimed at the persons working for competent authorities carrying out inspections under Article 34 of Directive 2010/63/EU to ensure the inspections are appropriately performed.
The module may also be helpful for a wider audience, including Animal Welfare Body members, when reviewing internal operational processes to preventively identify issues as part of the internal quality control procedure and for internal follow-up of formal Competent Authority inspections.
While the target audience is expected to understand the care and use of animals in scientific procedures and the legislation covering such use, the likely diverse background of inspectors should be considered, and adequate training and references have been made available to bridge eventual gaps.
