Notice Title

Archive Service Accreditation - External Challenge

Notice Description

This tender is intended to support us by developing an equality, diversity and inclusion external challenge approach to Archive Service Accreditation, ahead of shaping the major review of the standard and programme. The aim is to provide the space to capture expert external views on how a specialist standard can support inclusive practice. Specifically, we would like an external challenge which draws in feedback from wider populations than those closely engaged in archives management, looking beyond our immediate community to understand best practice and options for development.
