Dear Colleague

Following the end of its Diversify scheme last year, the Museums Association is asking the sector for its view on how the issue of diversity in the museum workforce can be addressed now and in the future.

The good news is that over the past decade or so, the proportion of minority-ethnic people working in museums has tripled and Diversify has played a part in improving things.  However, the bad news is that this is  still only about 7% of the workforce, compared with over 12% minority-ethnic people in the working-age population as a whole.

We would be delighted if you would complete our short online survey, the results of which will feed into our thinking and wider work: www.museumsassociation.org/careers/diversify/23012012-how-can-we-improve-diversity-in-the-museum-sector

Please do pass this email onto other colleagues.

Many thanks

Lucy
