As such, the Veterinary Casework Pack is specific to Scotland, as the legislation and processes elsewhere in the UK vary.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Scottish SPCA veterinary forensic case officer, Asta Parker, said, \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to now be able to offer this resource to support vets when they are part of a Scottish SPCA case.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pack brings together information for vets in practice who become involved with our general animal welfare cases, from the first point of contact with one of our inspectors requesting a veterinary examination of an animal, through to outlining the legislation relevant to these cases and common concerns vets may have when getting involved. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also gives guidance on how to approach these cases from a welfare legislative and forensic perspective and how to write thorough and effective witness statements when a case moves forward to potential prosecution. Fictional case examples are used to demonstrate various parts of the process. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pack is made up of 10 documents grouped in four sections to enable vets to easily find the specific help they need. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am also on hand to assist vets with any Scottish SPCA prosecution cases on a one- to-one basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Veterinary Casework Packs can be obtained by contacting Asta directly at <a href=\"mailto:asta.parker@scottishspca.org\">asta.parker@scottishspca.org<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have&nbsp;launched a Veterinary Casework Pack to give Scottish vets clear guidance when they are involved with Scottish SPCA cases regarding animal welfare offences.
