The process
Book an introductory chat
We’re delighted you're interested in learning more about RSPCA Assured membership!
Let us know a few details here, and we’ll be in touch with all the information you need.
Complete your application
It’s time to complete the application form and pay your membership fee! We’ll be on hand to support you and answer any questions.
We’ll explain everything that'll happen before, during, and after your first assessment.
Prepare for your assessment
This is when an RSPCA Assured assessor visits you and checks that you’re meeting the RSPCA welfare standards (or chain of custody requirements).
Assessments typically take around two and a half hours and are carried out within 12 weeks of us receiving payment for your application.
Before they set foot on your site, your RSPCA Assured assessor (a scheme employee) will carry out biosecurity measures to protect your animals from disease.
Become an RSPCA Assured member
Welcome to the herd!
Remember, we’re here to help you throughout your membership.
Our experts are on hand to answer any questions you might have – or help solve any standards-related problems. This can be either in person, via video call or on the phone.
Once you’ve joined RSPCA Assured, you’ll receive an assessment annually – and assessors may also make unannounced visits to check everything is ok and if you need any extra support
We really appreciate your effort and commitment to higher farmed animal welfare. Thank you.
