<p>The Animals in Science Regulation Unit has recently strengthened its regulatory
oversight processes to better deliver protections to animals used in science. This
has included the process of in-person assessments. The Regulator has published its
process for rigorous full system audits at: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fguidance%2Fanimal-research-technical-advice%23process-and-standards-for-establishment-full-system-audits&data=04%7C01%7CWilliam.Reynolds10%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7C069595fb99064365da7008da0cb2ac79%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C637836259035326929%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=KlK0sfwtrmg%2BI6CLgSywHo3dzm1%2Fjh0UIh9%2FIf1vi%2BY%3D&reserved=0"
