Torr’s Exotics – Animal Education & Community Impact Consultation
Help us shape the future of hands-on animal education for children and the community
At Torr’s Exotics, we are exploring the development of a new community project that will provide hands-on animal education, welfare and husbandry experiences for children and the wider community, with a particular focus on making opportunities accessible to children with SEND. We want to make sure we build something that genuinely meets local needs, so your experience and opinions are incredibly important to us. There are no right or wrong answers — we simply want to listen, learn and understand what would make the biggest difference.
Please answer the question below to the best of your ability. Your answers will help us provide a better future for children.
What type of organisation or setting are you representing?*
What age groups do you support?*
Do you think hands-on animal experiences would benefit the children/people you support?*

Are there currently opportunities for the children you support to have hands-on animal experiences?*
Would any of these approaches be helpful?*
What animal-related subjects would be most valuable?*
Would you prefer the sessions to support what you're already teaching?*
What type of experience do you think would work best?*
How long do you think an ideal session should be?*
Would you prefer sessions to be delivered at your setting, at a future Torr’s Exotics centre, or both?*
If we provided fully funded sessions, would you be interested in taking part?*
Would you be interested in helping us develop or the programme?*
Would you be willing to provide feedback after a session?*
Would you be happy for us to contact you about the project as it develops?*
