GUIDANCE NOTES ON COMPLETING THE APPLICATION FORM
Part 1 – Personal Information
This section asks you to provide your full name, address
and date of birth
Section 2 – Offences and Convictions
The further information or details of the infringement
section must be completed if applicable. If you have a
Conviction or Home Office Simple Caution record of any
animal welfare offence you must declare:
• The legislation breached
• The penalty imposed, including any
Restriction/ Disqualification Order with
details of its start/end date
• When the offence was committed
• Name of the court if there was a
conviction
• Date of Conviction/date of issue of
Home Office Simple Caution
• Who took the enforcement action (e.g.
police, local authority, RSPCA)
In considering applications for a Provisional Licence /
Certificate of Competence any record of a Home Office
Simple Caution or Conviction under the following
legislation will generally be taken as grounds for refusing
an application.
• the Animal Welfare Act 2006;
• the Animal Health & Welfare (Scotland)
Act 2006;
• the Welfare of Animals (Transport)
England Order 2006;
• The Welfare of Animals (Transport)
(Scotland) Regulations 2006;
• The Welfare of Animals (Transport)
(Wales) Order 2007;
• The Welfare of Animals (Transport)
Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006;
• the Welfare of Animals (Slaughter or
Killing) Regulations 1995 (as amended);
• the Slaughter of Poultry Act 1967
• the Slaughterhouses Act 1974
• the Slaughter of Animals (Scotland) Act
1980,
• the Protection of Animals Act 1911 to
1964;
• the Protection of Animals (Scotland) Act
1912 to 1964;
• article 4 or 6 of the Welfare of Animals
(Transport) Order 1997;
• Articles 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the Welfare of
animals at Markets Order 1990; or
• any other provision concerning the
welfare of animals.
However, evidence of action taken to avoid a repetition
of the offence(s) may be taken into account, as will the
seriousness of the offence(s).
If you are applying for a provisional licence you must
give full details if you have been refused any
slaughterer’s licence or if you have had a slaughterer’s
licence suspended or revoked. You must declare:
• The reason for suspension or revocation
• When the suspension or revocation took effect
• The authority responsible for the suspension
or revocation
A recent conviction for animal welfare offences under
the legislation listed in the Animal Welfare (Slaughter or
Killing) Regulations 1995 schedule 1.8 (b) would disbar
an individual from being granted a provisional licence.
However under normal circumstances an individual
would not be barred for life unless the decision by the
court prevented the individual from working with animals.
The normal ruling is applied and a conviction would be
considered spent after a period of seven years. If the
offence has occurred seven years previous to the
application it is likely that the vet would issue a
provisional licence allowing the individual to work under
supervision until such time as they were able to
demonstrate competence to undertake the duties.
