The AVA Chartered Veterinary Practitioner governance framework outlines the principle-based systems and processes that influence how the AVA CVP’s objectives are set and achieved, the interest of stakeholders (including students) are met, risks are monitored and addressed, and how performance is optimised.

Additionally, the governance framework promotes clear lines of reporting and accountability within and between the AVA and students, to support appropriate, open and transparent communication and robust well-informed decision making.
