Accountability for collections – Briefing for Trustees and Senior Managers

In response to recent scrutiny of the sector’s accountability for the collections in its care, Collections Trust is offering a concise briefing, aimed at trustees and senior managers who want to review the policies and procedures in place at their own institutions.

The UK museum sector has a well-established standard for collections management, Spectrum, which is embedded into the Museum Accreditation standard. This one-hour briefing will cover the core principles of three relevant Spectrum procedures:

· Inventory

· Audit

· Damage and loss

The briefing will also signpost further training and advice available from Collections Trust to help you, staff, and volunteers take follow-up action.

Please Note: This workshop is open to Trustees and Senior Management of all museums regardless of Accreditation status.
