The MLA wants to see greater numbers of people engage with museums, libraries and archives sector as leaders, staff and audiences, and help to ensure that equality and diversity is considered in every sector activity and decision. Our vision for increasing levels of equality and diversity sets out three priority areas to focus on. These are:
- boards, elected member and leadership diversity
- workforce diversity
- audience diversity
Increasing levels of equality and diversity requires a transformation in attitudes within the sector, and we believe that this can only be achieved if the agenda is engaged with at every level of each organisation.
MLA will shortly be publishing its Single Equality Scheme (SES) to identify potential inequalities and conflicts as well as solutions. We are committed to supporting the sector in developing this agenda as well as providing information on other ways in which equality and diversity can be increased, including examples of best practice.
