Building a programme
Building an enrichment programme
Many institutions will already have an established enrichment programme. However, if your collection does not yet have an one set up or you are looking to update/modify an existing one, we have provided some examples of the different steps that may help to build a programme suitable for your collection.
Why build enrichment programme?
There are many benefits to having an enrichment programme, including:
-
Provides a guide for carers which may encourage the provision of more enrichment activities
-
Allows thorough documentation and evaluation of enrichment
-
Helps to track behaviours and combat stereotypies
What is the S.P.I.D.E.R framework?
Many enrichment programmes follow the S.P.I.D.E.R framework which we have used, along with useful resources found across the web, to create a programme suitable for a wide range of species.
S.P.I.D.E.R is a general guideline, consisting of 6 steps used to build and implement an enrichment programme based on behavioural goals.
