We are pleased to announce that Brent Museum has been awarded Full Accreditation!
Museum Accreditation is the UK museum sector's nationally agreed quality standard, administered by Arts Council England. It recognises museums that are professionally managed, sustainable and trustworthy, and that meet rigorous standards across organisational governance, collections management, and visitor experience. Full Accreditation demonstrates that Brent's collections are being properly cared for and preserved for future generations, that we have robust policies and procedures in place, and that we are committed to providing high-quality experiences and services for our communities.
The Accreditation process has required substantial work from the Museum and Archives team over the past year. As part of the application, we reviewed and updated a wide range of policies, plans and procedures covering governance, collections care, documentation, emergency planning, audience engagement and forward planning. We also undertook a comprehensive review of our museum collections and demonstrated how we care for, manage and make them accessible to the public in line with national standards. These improvements help ensure that Brent's heritage collections remain well-managed, accessible and relevant to local communities.
