Nikki Morrison | Welfare in Practice

Welcome to Nikki Morrison | Welfare in Practice.

This channel is for people who care about how animal welfare actually works in real settings: animal-care professionals, team members, leaders, organisations, students, researchers, educators, policy and sector partners.

I’m Nikki Morrison, an Animal Welfare, Behaviour & Implementation Specialist with 25 years’ cross-sector experience across animal care, behaviour, rescue, zoos, assistance dogs, leadership and welfare systems.

Here, I explore welfare standards, policies, evidence and good intentions, and what happens when they meet real-world practice: how behaviour, enrichment, team practice, systems, resources, records, culture and daily decisions shape animals’ lived experience.

Because good welfare needs good systems around it.

Expect practical reflections, field notes, conversations and welfare implementation breakdowns, with occasional lighter moments from real animal-care life.

Welfare in practice, not just in principle.
