Getting to grips with new welfare training: Wiltshire

Red Tractor has announced changes to its assurance standards following an industry-wide consultation; these will apply from 1 November 2021.

One of the new requirements is that anyone involved with the care of pigs must complete online pig welfare training in key areas, including best practice around moving and handling pigs.

To explain what this means in practice and to answer any questions, we’ll be joined by Georgina McDowell (née Crayford) from Red Tractor.

The new welfare training platform, developed by AHDB and key stakeholders, is due to go live soon. In the meantime, you can find out more about the training here.
  
We'll also be discussing the business resilience funding that’s available to help farmers navigate the fallout of the loss of direct payments and help future proof their businesses.

Note: Please note the venue is different from our usual one.
