This practical workshop is an introduction to the Museum Accreditation Standard. It is aimed at museums who are not already Accredited and may be considering applying for Accreditation for the first time.
Participants will gain an overview of:
• the benefits of the scheme
• the eligibility criteria and process
• the Working Towards Accreditation application processes
• Accreditation mentors
• Arts Council England's guidance documents
• other sources of advice and support
The workshop also has practical exercises that will help you prepare.
