NCBPT: The Museum at The Folly: Accreditation

Museum of North Craven Life at The Folly, Settle

Accreditation

The Museum of North Craven Life at The Folly in Settle is delighted to have been officially ‘Accredited’ by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) in 2009, after significant work by Museum staff and volunteers.

The MLA's Museum Accreditation Scheme sets national agreed standards for all museums in the UK.
The award proves that the museums measure up, meeting the guidelines on how they are run, how they look after their collections and the services that they provide for visitors.
Being accredited holds many benefits for the museums particularly in their relationships with funding organisations and external bodies.

The MLA website is at: http://www.mla.gov.uk/ and further information on Accreditation can be found in their Accreditation section.
