Impact of Covid-19 on National Cultural Institutions: Discussion
Ms Lynn Scarff:
There is a great opportunity in the point raised by the Deputy around training and it concerns increasing the diversity of the workforce within museums and reaching out to local communities. Our chair spoke about the inclusive museum and there is definitely opportunity in training programmes and reaching communities that may be under-represented within our workforce. Working with volunteers and young graduates in that respect would be really important for our workforce in future so we can be more representative of our communities.
