Accreditation Workshops

 

Lead by Jennie Pitceathly the programme is aimed at organisations that will be invited to submit biennial returns in this period and also for museums that are applying to the Accreditation standard for the first time.

TBC September
Refresher Event 1: Collections Care (part of the Museum Development NW Collections Management training programme) and Surgery (PM)
Venue: Preston Conservation Studios

These workshops examine key requirements from sections 1, 2 and 3 of the Accreditation standard.  Each workshop is a mix of information and group exercises to help you understand the requirements and the supporting guidance documents and identify practical solutions for compiling your Accreditation return. The Accreditation Surgeries are one-to-one sessions with the Accreditation Adviser so that you can discuss your Accreditation return and any concerns you have about the guidance and on-line application system.
