Training course: Companion animal interventions in therapeutic practice
SCAS's training course on animal-assisted interventions, one of very few available in the UK, has been very well received with excellent feedback from course participants. The course for 2009 is fully subscribed. The dates for 2010 have been set. They are 23-26 April 2010 (Part 1) and 3-6 September 2010 (Part 2)(participants must attend both Part 1 and Part 2).

SCAS welcomes parliamentary support for Pets for Life campaign
SCAS will receive a welcome boost of support this Friday 5 March, when Nigel Waterson MP presents to the House of Commons the Second Reading of his Private Member's Bill to increase the number of residential care and sheltered housing providers which allow pets to live with their owners.
As Shadow Minister for Older People, Nigel Waterson MP explains: "The UK needs to adopt a more enlightened and responsible policy towards increasing the number of care homes and sheltered housing accommodation which allow pets in residence. The current practice is totally unacceptable in a civilised country and we should follow the example of countries, such as France and the USA, who have passed legislation aimed at allowing people to keep their beloved pets."
