Professional Behaviour help desk

Students or employees who encounter a situation with animals in experiments that violates ethical or legal standards concerning animal welfare, can report it to the 'Professional Behaviour and Animal Welfare' help desk.

If you encounter an issue, take the following steps:

  1. Always start by discussing it with your manager, instructor or tutor.
  2. If the response is unsatisfactory, discuss it with the Animal Welfare Body Utrecht.
  3. If to your opinion the issue remains unsolved, you can report it to the 'Professional Behaviour and Animal Welfare' help desk. Your report will be treated confidentially.
