The Ethics Committee
The Ethics Committee develops and promotes the understanding of ethical principles, practice and issues within the museum community.
Creating a culture in UK museums that embraces ethical practice so that people working in museums:
- recognise responsibility for practising and promoting ethical behaviour
- see ethics as a positive force, responsive to developing professional and public views, and underpinning change and improvement
- Regard an awareness and discussion of ethics as the norm, connecting all museums and playing a role in planning and decision making.
The committee is drawn from the sector and members are appointed for a three-year period. More information about the committee can be found here.
