 Setting the standard
As an inclusive, empowering and positive initiative MLA’s Museum Accreditation Scheme sets out nationally agreed standards for museums in the UK. 2008 sees the 20th anniversary of the scheme which has proved to be one of our most effective initiatives for UK museums during this time. Find out more On reviewing the performance indicators which use Museum Accreditation that form part of the Cultural Services Assessments for county and single tier local authorities, see the guidance note CPA and Accreditation (Word 84KB)  which explains how the indicator operates and what it means for museums and local councils. On how to qualify, the basic requirements on caring for and documenting your collections, governing and managing, etc see links below. About the Museum Accreditation Scheme
