Foundations of Shelter Management comprises five general shelter management modules which can be implemented in a dog or cat setting and a further collection of modules, specifically targeted to dog or cat welfare and rehoming.
Each module will take no more than two hours to complete, although many are shorter; we recognise that it can be a challenge for animal welfare personnel to attend longer training sessions. Those who fully complete either the canine or feline series of modules may then apply to attend the Residential Week, at Battersea’s London and Old Windsor sites.
Foundations of Shelter Management is suitable as an induction programme for staff and volunteers new to your organisation or for someone looking to upskill or refresh their existing knowledge.”
Duration: Live online – five weeks (one two-hour session per week) | E-learning & pre-recorded (at learner’s pace)
