DEFRA issues a number of licences that may be required for research or teaching around the University, such as Plant Health licences, SAPO (Specified Animal Pathogen Order) and licences, or licences to keep specific animals such as non-native shellfish. 

Each summer, information on these licences is requested for general risk management purposes. Please note that information regarding phytosanitary certificates that may have accompanied imported material is not required.
