Following the pause of the Accreditation scheme due to Covid-19, there has been a phased approach to reopening the scheme, initially for first time applicants and those working towards accreditation.
For those with Full Accreditation, an interim returns schedule has now been published, which covers the next 18 months. Batch 1 will receive a return invite in December 2022, with a deadline of June 2023, and Batch 2 will receive an invite in July 2023 with a deadline of December 2023.
There are six Essex museums in these first two batches. If you are not on the interim schedule, then you will not receive an invitation to submit your next return in 2022 or 2023. The next rollout will start from January 2024 so that would be the earliest you would get your next invite.
