Join Arts Council England and the Accreditation Redesign team to hear more about what’s in store for scheme participants with the publication of the new Standard later in 2026.
This will be an opportunity to hear from other museums who are involved in testing the Standard and the new process. They’ll share their experiences of the being a user tester and we’ll explore the why behind the incoming changes to the Standard and how museums can engage with the scheme.
It will also be an opportunity to ask questions of the team and share your thoughts on the current redesign thinking.
