Veterinary undergraduate training raises
awareness amongst veterinary
undergraduates about the link between the
abuse of animals and abuse of people. It
introduces the concept that perpetrators of
domestic abuse often abuse the close bond
between victim-survivors and their animals,
deliberately harm an animal, may lie about
how an animal has sustained injuries, can
withhold access to veterinary treatment,
and that this may be as part of a coercive
and controlling relationship.
Course content includes highlighting the
different types and signs of abuse, being
aware of the diagnostic indicators of non-
accidental injury (NAI), what to do if NAI is
suspected or there are concerns about
other members of the household (adults
and children) and reporting pathways.
We also cover the importance of specialist
animal fostering services for the pets of
people fleeing domestic abuse.
The impact of this training is that most
recent (up to 20 years qualified) veterinary
graduates have an awareness of the link
between the abuse of people and animals,
the role that the veterinary team plays in
dealing with cases and the importance of
multi-agency working.
Veterinary undergraduate training that has
taken place at UK universities in 2024
includes:
Bristol
Cambridge
Edinburgh
Glasgow
Liverpool
Nottingham
Royal Veterinary College (University of
London)
Surrey
Cambridge
These undergraduate talks have been
available since 2003, initially as an optional
‘extra’ for undergraduates and now the
universities have adopted as part of the
curriculum. The 2024 training equates to
reaching circa 1,400 veterinary|
undergraduates who will join the veterinary workforce in the next two years. As the undergraduate training has only been available since 2003, there are many veterinary surgeons in practice who have not benefited from this awareness raising. The Links Group was supported prepandemic by the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) to run regional training days for veterinary teams across the UK. These re-started after Covid-19 in early 2023 and completed training in all 12 BSAVA regions by the end of 2024. In line with the purposes and main activities of the charity, the format of these training sessions has evolved into multi-agency training days. This allows us to use subject matter expert speakers in domestic abuse, child abuse and animal abuse and welfare, to bring a holistic awareness of the issues across the professions, highlight barriers to reporting for veterinary professionals and learning from our allied professionals in human health and social care, and emphasise the need for intersectionality in strategy and delivery of best practice. In 2024, this series of training days completed with days in Cardiff, Southampton and the Northwest region, with 113 attending over those 3 days. Speakers at these events include: Women’s Aid, the NSPCC, regional police forces, the RSPCA, the specialist domestic abuse pet fostering groups, a veterinary forensic expert witness, and the Links Group speakers. The training days have been open to and attended by members of veterinary teams and any other agencies or individuals working in child and/or domestic abuse. This includes: private and charity sector veterinary nurses, veterinary surgeons, practice managers, and practice owners presidents and senior members of major veterinary professional organisations (BSAVA, RCVS, BVA, BVNA, BVRA, NIVA, AVSPNI, Vet Support, Young Vet Network, SPVS
||and the VDS),|
|---|---|
||representatives of the vet schools|
||and other academics, students,|
||forensic science, criminology|
||social workers, NHS safeguarding|
||leads in community and hospitals,|
||city and county council|
||representatives,|
||police officers and representatives|
||of offices of the Police and Crime|
||Commissioners,|
||domestic abuse services for male|
||and female victim-survivors,|
||an MP, and in Northern Ireland, the|
||Department of Justice, the|
||Department of Health and|
||representatives of the Executive|
||Office,|
||the judiciary, the Nuffield Family|
||Justice Centre, Centre for Justice|
||Innovation, the Homicide Timeline.|
|In addition, the team has attended||
|/delivered at over 40 training sessions||
|engaging a diverse range of professionals||
|including veterinary colleagues, animal||
|welfare organisations, domestic and sexual||
|abuse|services, police, social workers,|
|housing teams, health workers, substance||
|misuse services and more across the UK||
|and internationally. Through this activity we||
|have provided training to over 2,000||
|professionals in 2024.||
|The impact has been to drive that||
|awareness about the link, raise the profile||
|of the|issues and promote inter-agency|
|working to help tackle them.||
|Direct|outcomes from these 2024 meetings|
|have included:||
||liaising with the RCVS Professional|
||Conduct department to increase|
||awareness and ensure clarity on|
||Section 14 of the supporting|
||guidance (Client Confidentiality) to|
||the Codes of Professional Conduct|
||for Veterinary Surgeons and|
||Registered Veterinary Nurses.|
||liaising with the Welsh government|
||advisor on “links” awareness, rural|
||mental health, linked crimes/public|
||protection,|
||delivering training for the VDS,|
||collaboration with the University of|
||Sussex in delivering training to|
||postgraduate practising social|
||workers, and developing a training|workers, and developing a training|
|---|---|---|
||stream for undergraduate social||
||workers and veterinary nurses,||
||contributing a chapter on The Link||
||for Veterinary Teams in a textbook||
||on veterinary social work,||
||becoming an off-site partner of the||
||Foyle Family Justice Centre, the||
||only centre of its type in the UK or||
||Ireland; and a Links member sitting||
||on their Board in an advisory role,||
||ongoing collaboration withHestia
|to|
||bring theirOnline Safe Spaces||
||portal to the major veterinary||
||organisations in the UK.||
||Hestia is a crisis charity with a focus||
||ondomestic abuse. Hestia||
||delivered the Home Office’s ‘Ask for||
||ANI
’ domestic abuse safe space||
||codeword scheme which runs in||
||pharmacies,||
||Liaising with the University of||
||Liverpool School of Law & Social||
||Justice on animal welfare in||
||Northern Ireland, their development||
||of a toolkit and the vet-facing side|of|
||it,||
||Exploration of connections in the||
||Family Drug and Alcohol Courts and||
||provision of training to those||
||working in the women's sector and||
||criminal / family problem-solving||

||women's problem-solving court||
||network,||
||Developing online and face-to-face||
||training of veterinary teams offshore||
||UK,||
||Developed a link to improve our e-||
||learning capacity.||
|These outcomes were deemed so|||
|significant that the British Small Animal|||
|Veterinary Association has agreed to|||
|support a second series across the UK|||
|from 2025-2027.|||
|In 2015 we launched our free online|||
|training course hosted by the Virtual|||
|College to introduce the concept of the link|||
|and animal welfare to those working in any|||
|capacity in the human health and|||
|safeguarding sectors. Since launch, this|||
|course has been accessed by 10,830 allied|
|---|
|professionals, helping them to understand|
|how poor animal welfare can be an|
|indicator of other issues within a home.|
|Throughout 2024 we continued work to|
|update this course content and its delivery|
|ready to launch in 2025.|
|The Links Group is internationally|
|recognised with talks delivered at the|
|Eurogroup for animals, participation in One|
|Welfare Phoenix, and our Chair, Dr Paula|
|Boyden being awarded the British|
|Veterinary Association’s Outstanding|
|Service (Chiron) Award.|
|**Fostering**|
|A further key element of the Links Group is|
|the animal fostering group, made up of|
|specialist domestic abuse pet fostering|
|organisations that include:|
|
Dogs Trust Freedom|
|
Cats Protection Lifeline|
|
Endeavour|
|
Refuge4Pets|
|The teams have continued to work together|
|to raise awareness of their services and of|
|the issues facing all victim-survivors of|
|domestic abuse, both people and their|
|animals.|
|In 2024 our animal fostering services|
|supported 1500 pets to escape domestic|
|abuse by providing free and confidential pet|
|fostering for over 1100 victim-survivors. All|
|four reported an increase demand for|
|services.|
|Cats Protection Lifeline expanded into|
|Scotland and Dogs Trust Freedom|
|celebrated 20 years of providing their|
|specialist domestic abuse dog fostering.|
|Refuge4Pets continued a pilot study where|
|they have been attending Multi-Agency|
|Risk Assessment Conferences (MARACs)|
|across Devon and Cornwall. MARAC|
|meetings are convened for the most|
|serious cases, where agencies work|
|together to safeguard victim-survivors of|
|domestic abuse. Refuge4Pets role at|
|MARAC is to promote factoring animals into|
|the safety plans for victim-survivors. The|
|team at Refuge4Pets continued their work|
|with SafeLives
(a national domestic abuse|
|charity) to develop MARAC templates and|
|guidance to include animals ready for a|
|national roll out.|
In 1997, Paws for Kids/Endeavour founded the UK’s first pet fostering service to enable families to keep their pets safe and flee abusive households. Their foster service has grown to cover the Northwest in partnership with Dogs Trust Freedom. Endeavour has seven community projects supporting families in their homes and in temporary accommodation, with 2024 bringing our oldest ever client and pet owner, aged 99. All four reported a rise in pet fostering clients across their individual services that have died by domestic abuse-related deaths relating or suicides in 2024 compared to previous years of service. This has had a significant impact on the teams and highlights again the ongoing abuse and impact that domestic has even after the point of fleeing, and the importance of the availability of these services.
