One welfare a framework to improve animal welfare and human well-being

ix

Special thanks to all One Welfare ‘team’ contributors: Michael Appleby,

Freda Scott-Park, Charles Smith, Antonio Velarde, Xavier Manteca and

the One Welfare artwork designer, René Held, who have provided me with

a combination of moral, technical and practical support since the begin-

ning of this venture. Without you the concept of One Welfare would not

have reached this stage and I am very grateful for your advice and ongoing

support.

Thank you also to all of the case study contributors and peer reviewers

who have really made a difference with their inputs, examples and very

helpful suggestions and comments.

Many thanks also to those who have assisted selflessly with their ad-

vice and support through the past years, including David Grant, Mohan

Raj, Elizabeth Kelly, Kate Sharpe, Derek Belton, Anne Fawcett, Don Broom,

Lotta Berg, Sarah Heath, Jane Gibbens, David Montgomery, Zeev Noga,

Nigel Gibbens and Tomás Fisac.

To those who attended the very first discussions and One Welfare stake-

holder meeting that took place during 2015: your input, constructive chal-

lenge and comments at the preliminary discussion helped me mature and

develop the concept into a full framework. Among others, my thanks to

Javier Dominguez and John Lawrence, FSA; David Harris, APHA; Robert

Huey, NI CVO; Sheila Voas, Scotland CVO; Simon Waterfield and Sue Ellis,

Defra; Catherine O’Connor, Public Health England; Andrew Voas, Scottish

Government; Irene Allen, Welsh Government; Sandra Dunbar, N. Ireland

Government; Michael Seals, Animal Health and Welfare Board for England;

Association; John Blackwell, BVA; Peter Stevenson, Compassion in World

Farming; Clare Kivlehan, Dog’s Trust; and Mike Appleby, World Animal

Thanks also to those who have shared their examples and comments

at the different talks and poster sessions or through engagement on social

media.
