The Scottish SPCA will launch a new Education programme this summer.
Our free and groundbreaking interactive programme fits into the four capacities of the Curriculum for Excellence, most notably helping children develop into responsible citizens within their communities.
Scottish SPCA Chief Superintendent Mike Flynn said, "Sadly, cruelty to animals continues to be a major issue in Scotland but we believe our new Education programme will be a vital step in the right direction by encouraging children to treat animals with compassion and respect.
"Our inspectors, ambulance drivers and education officers will now offer free visits and interactive talks and demonstrations to Primary 4-6 classes, including composites, while resources will also be available for other school classes on our website.
"We have already trialled our programme in a number of different schools around the country and have had fantastic feedback. Our visits really are a wonderful way to help children develop and become responsible citizens."
