When Dr Sarah Cutler says you can read as many books on animal welfare as you like, but it’s the practical application where you really learn how to be an assessor, she knows what she’s talking about.
Sarah’s academic background is impressive and laid firm foundations for the many years she has worked for RSPCA Assured.
RSPCA Assured assessors carry out checks that new applicants and existing scheme members meet the RSPCA welfare standards.
Sarah, 41, studied agriculture at Bangor University and went on to Reading University’s 400-cow centre for dairy research. After 12 years she completed her PhD and became a research fellow.
