Workshop EURCAW novel ‘welfare inspection support tool’

On December 15th, 2025, the four EURCAWs organized an online workshop entitled EURCAW novel ‘welfare inspection support tool’ for the EU Animal Welfare Member State official inspectors/officials. A total of 13 participants attended the workshop. Excluding EURCAW members, 8 participants from 8 EU Member States were present.

The workshop used a co-design process to ensure that the tool addressed the established needs of official inspectors, as an end-user. Three key elements were explored through the co-design process:

-  The primary purposes for using the inspection tool.

-  The types of content official inspectors expect to access through the tool.

-  The technical and technological features that should be incorporated into the tool.
