Cabinet considered the report of the Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure that sought approval of four key Museum of Gloucester policies required to allow retention of its Accreditation status.

The Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure summarised the background to the report and the advantages to retaining Accreditation (3.1-3.3).  She outlined the purpose of each of the policies (Appendices 1-4) for consideration.  The Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure noted that the Collections Development Policy (Appendix 1) in particular contained much of interest concerning Gloucester’s rich 2,000-year history and nationally important former citizens such as Sir Matthew Hale and Jemmy Wood.  The Leader of the Council commented on the comprehensive nature of the policies and that it was good to see the museum moving forward.

RESOLVED that the Collections Development, Documentation, Collections Care & Conservation, and Access Policies are approved.
