The Scottish SPCA's new Prevention through Education programme is now in schools and available to book.

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, which is principally aimed at Primary 4-6 classes, is a vital step in the right direction by encouraging children to treat animals with compassion and respect.

"Our Inspectors, Ambulance Drivers and Education Officers are now offering free visits and interactive talks and demonstrations.

"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."
