Photo from the museums and autism blog showing around 100 bobbins, all different colours and sorted into colour order from deep blue to bright pink. The bobbis are standing upright on their ends, except for one which tilts at a wonky angle.

The Kids in Museums campaign logo showing a cartoon illustration of a wooly mammoth on a museum plinth, surrounded by curious looking museum visitors of all ages and abilities.
I'm delighted to be chairing Kids in Museums new workshop 'Welcoming Families with Autism' at the Science Museum on February 9th. It's a day packed with experts from museums and arts organisations who can share their experiences of welcoming families with children or young people on the autism spectrum. You can book for the event here or keep an eye on future workshops here

It's a subject I've been interested in for many years and have blogged about previously, though my interest has ramped up several gears over the past 12 months thanks to my involvement with two local autism charities, and my work with Lancashire Museums who commissioned me to research the subject of museums and autism from the perspectives of museums and autistic visitors. You can read more about that on my separate, ongoing blog http://www.museumsandautism.tumblr.com/ which combines museum practice, feedback from families and visitors on the autistic spectrum, and expert reports and presentations on the subject.

This year I'll be working as a trainer for schools in the North West applying to the new Artsmark scheme. Arts Council England have selected and trained a group of arts education specialists across the country to offer training to teachers, to help them with applications for the revised Artsmark scheme.
This training is authorised and endorsed by them, and is relevant to primary and secondary schools applying at Artsmark or Artsmark gold level* including all schools regardless of whether or not they have applied for or received the award before.
(*Artsmark Silver does not exist within the new scheme).

Save the date:
Merseyside: Monday 17th October at the Bluecoat Centre, Liverpool
Pennine Lancs: Tuesday 1st November at Burnley Youth Theatre, Lancs

NB This will be the only Arts Council England authorised Artsmark training in these areas. 
Booking details will be announced shortly but do save the date now. Please contact me if you wish to reserve your place so you can begin arranging cover. Training will be at a fee of £80 / teacher for a full day including lunch, introduction to the arts education work of the host venue, and individually tailored support for your application. Full terms and conditions will be available online soon. 

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Find out more about Artsmark here.
(To contact the Artsmark team, please find the appropriate contact details within the application documents.)

    I'm most interested in how the public, your public, whoever that may be, engages with culture and creativity.  

    And if it nurtures creativity and develops personal, social or professional skills  I'm absolutely all ears.
