Advice on disciplinary processes
The BVA is providing advice videos on disciplinary processes

Five short videos giving advice on disciplinary processes can now be watched by BVA members as part of their membership package.

The expert-led videos are aimed at both employers and employees, and explain the recommended procedures, in the hope that both parties remain well-informed and fair throughout the process. Advice includes when to give a warning to an employee and how to prepare for a disciplinary hearing.

Each video uses a case study, highlighting the different stages of the process, showing what the stages mean, and helping both employes and employees to prepare for them.

Robin Hargreaves, Chair of the BVA Members Services Group said, 'There is evidently a need for such information and I hope members of the veterinary team check the whole range of free employment resources BVA members can access before paying for external legal advice - it might not be needed.'

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
