This session will give you an overview of policies, plans and procedures necessary for Accreditation; a chance to review your existing Policies, Plans and Procedures (which you should have to hand in the session) and time to think about your own organisational strengths, weaknesses and priorities.

This series of workshops, developed collaboratively by MDY, MDNW and MDNE, have been designed to support you and other staff in your museum to achieve, maintain and improve Collections Care and Management practices and to meet Museum Accreditation requirements detailed in Section 2 of the ACE managed Museum Accreditation Standard.
