Accreditation Scheme for Museums and Galleries in the United Kingdom:

Returns schedule Wales

October 2015


Introduction

This document details the rollout timetable for the area described. The Accreditation returns cycle has been developed on the basis of a museum’s last Accreditation review date, which will either be its initial application for Accredited status, or an Accreditation return provided in September 2009.

The returns schedule provides for a six month preparation period from point of invitation to return deadline.

Once you have submitted your return, it will be reviewed by an expert assessor, this may include a site visit as part of the scheme’s quality assurance requirement. Once the assessment is complete, a recommendation will be presented to an Accreditation Panel who will consider the assessment form and recommendation, and agree an award. The assessment period will be a maximum of three months.

The returns schedule can be flexible in exceptional circumstances where a museum is undergoing a significant change that has reduced the operational capacity of the workforce, for example major re-development, disaster recovery, management of budget reductions and constitutional change.

If your museum is experiencing an exceptional circumstance, please contact your assessing organisation to discuss the schedule.
