Training and education resources
From lesson plans for teachers to information for pet owners, we have a list of resources to support you.
Activities and lesson plans for teachers
We’ve produced teaching resources for all ages in consultation with teachers and our education department. From KS1 right through to KS3, download everything you need to engage with your children with responsible pet ownership.
Resources for college courses
For students studying animal care, management or veterinary nursing, our lesson plan and video presentations give a good overall view of animal welfare charities and how they work, with specific reference to the way we care for and rehome pets at Blue Cross.
We have created an online lesson plan for college teachers of Level 1, 2 and 3 Animal Management or Animal Care.
The work of Blue Cross
Watch our video presentation on the work of Blue Cross, which includes an activity for students to complete in class.

Equine studies
For students on Equine studies courses, we have a specific video presentation on our work in this field.
Campaigns and public affairs
At Blue Cross, we also work on various campaigns. An insight into one of our campaigns can be found in our video presentation on Blue Cross campaigns and public affairs.
We can sometimes accommodate college placements in our centres. It very much depends on the centre and the operational requirements at the time.
If you are hoping for a college placement in one of our rehoming centres, it is best to enquire with the centre manager of the rehoming centre closest to you.
Fun activities for kids
We love to encourage kids to learn more about pets at home. Take a look at our free online activities, ideas and resources to keep young people of all ages busy.
Resources for pet owners
We’ve developed resources to help keep people and their pets together safely, happily, and within the law.
