Sent on behalf of Alistair Brown (with apologies for cross-posting):
The Museums Association has been working for over a year with museums professionals, sector bodies, volunteers and other interested parties to produce an updated Code of Ethics for the sector.
The last full update of the Code took place in 2002, while a partial update on financially motivated disposal took place in 2007.
Following a year of consultation activities and events, the MA has recently published a draft Code of Ethics for a further period of consultation with the sector.
