What effect does the Independent Office of Animal Welfare have on the RSPCA?

Answer

The Independent Office of Animal Welfare would work with the RSPCA. It would do this by having representatives of the RSPCA on the advisory panel and it would ensure that there was a standardisation of policy in place, which would allow the RSPCA to better perform their role.
