Led by Emma Chaplin

Museum Development North West (MDNW), Museum Development Yorkshire (MDY) and Museum Development North East (MDNE) are hosting Accreditation refresher workshops for museums in the North of England, concentrating on the areas of the Standard that have to be reviewed at least once every five years.

These interactive online workshops are open to all museums across the three regions. They will be hosted by Accreditation Advisers Emma Chaplin (MDNW), Kelly Chapman (MDY) and Heather Lomas (MDNE), with additional input from Collections Trust.

Each refresher session will provide museums with:

• An overview of key topics

• Top tips for meeting this area of the Accreditation standard

• Opportunities to ask questions and discuss issues

• Signposting and links to helpful resources

• Networking and sharing with museums from across all three regions

Our aim is for participants to leave the session with increased knowledge and understanding of the topic plus the confidence to implement this area of the Museum Accreditation standard.

This workshop will cover Access policy and plan, section 7.1. An approved access policy and section 7.2. An access plan and will be led by Emma Chaplin online.
