UWE Bristol research and teaching activities involving animals do not require a Home Office Licence but are subject to rigorous scrutiny by the University’s Animal Welfare and Ethics Sub Committee (AWESC).

Scrutiny of all applications to work with animals includes a detailed cost-benefit analysis which includes the extent to which there are potential benefits to animals, humans, communities and societies.
