Hacton school, within the London Borough of Havering, volunteered to introduce the Blue Dog as a pilot scheme within the school. The idea was to assess how best the message could be incorporated into the already full curriculum. In addition they were to assess what additional resources would be useful. 

Moira Butcher and Jan Barnett presented their preliminary feedback at a meeting in Dublin held during the recent World Small Animal (WSAVA) and Federation of European Companion Animal Veterinary Association (FECAVA) Congress. 

Their ideas were well received and a follow up meeting will be arranged in Gent to involve teachers from Belgium and the Netherlands.
