Other codes

Museums do not work in isolation. They work with other people and professional groups to deliver a range of services.

Even within a ‘typical’ museum discipline there will be diversity in approaches, roles and remits – some of which may be supported by other specific codes of conduct or ethics.

Being aware of the different professional groups within your organisation and beyond can help you work more effectively together.

We support the work of specialist organisations in the UK whose members are involved in museum work and who may produce their own codes of ethics and ethical guidelines. We an help in cross-referencing to these others codes and guidelines and in referring to appropriate sources of specialist advice.
