128. The Welfare of Livestock Regulations 1994 require those attending livestock to have received instruction and guidance about the provisions of the relevant welfare code. We believe that newcomers to dairying should be given appropriate practical and theoretical training not, only on-farm from an experienced and competent dairyman, but also from a recognised agricultural trainer before they are given charge of the stock (paragraph 57).
129. Training providers should take steps to ensure that standards of formal training programmes are reviewed, as necessary, and independently assessed (paragraph 58).
130. Training providers should ensure that appropriate training is available at a reasonable cost (paragraph 59).
131. The industry should take steps to ensure training is validated (paragraph 60).
