Getting ready for your next assessment

Our latest set of on-farm standards came into effect on 1 November 2021 (version 5).

From 1 October 2022 there are interim changes to our poultry and pig on farm standards. Members of these schemes will be assessed against a revised set of standards (version 5.1) from 1 October 2022.

We have lots of information and a handy Q&A section to help you get ready for your next assessment and understand the changes applicable to you.
