This important Hub has just been launched by Historic England:
“The Inclusive Heritage Advice Hub is part of Historic England’s commitment to supporting the heritage sector to become more diverse.
It contains digestible information for any organisation wishing to celebrate inclusive heritage and ensure their work is as diverse and inclusive as possible. Advice is presented through case studies, templates, checklists, guidance, and external signposting. Experts within Historic England created some of the resources, while others were commissioned externally.”
It has four main sections, and each of those contains links to separate webpages with advice and guidance. The main sections are:
- Inclusion and diversity in the workplace: “This section provides advice on creating an inclusive workplace culture and practical tips for supporting and building diverse teams.”
- Diverse workforces in the heritage sector: “This section provides advice on the benefits of diversifying your workforce, how to support diverse workforces, and how to collect data about the diversity of your staff and volunteers.”
- Inclusive governance boards and diverse trustees: “In this section, you will find advice about diversifying governance roles in your organisation, ensuring diverse boards are supported, and advice for potential future trustees within the heritage sector.”
- Understanding and working with diverse audiences and participants: “In this section, you will find advice on how best to undertake work with diverse audiences and participants, as well as information on why it is both important and beneficial for your organisation to work with diverse groups.”
