The CHA recognises that the future of hunting depends on public perception and therefore on the good conduct of the hunts themselves.

Monitors are appointed to undertake Kennel Visits on a regular cycle. Under consideration are matters to do with the welfare and safety of all the hunting dogs, horses and hunt staff, as well as best practice in kennels. If any report reveals sub-standard practice the CHA ensures appropriate remedial action and additional monitoring. All reports are promptly forwarded to the Independent Supervisory Authority for Hunting (ISAH). The aim is to ensure effective and transparent self-regulation. Under the auspices of ISAH conservation and wildlife monitoring is also carried out by individual hunts and is recorded and analysed by The Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at Oxford University.
