Subject: Accreditation
**** Moderator's comments: Please respond directly to the author. I am a third year conservation degree student currently researching for a dissertation with the working title,'accreditation in the UK from an undergraduate perspective.' The aim is to improve students level of awareness of the scheme, and ultimately produce a guideline to aid their preparation for the process, should they decide to participate. In order to provide a true representation of accreditation and the current levels of uptake, I am hoping to identify practicing conservators who would be willing to be interviewed, and share their opinions and advice. It would be beneficial to interview representatives of both the public and private sectors, covering a range of geographical locations, and specialisms. It is imperative that the dissertation be from an impartial stand-point, and therefore, in addition to participants, I would also wish to question abstainers of the scheme. All interviewees would remain anonymous, and, if deemed necessary, would be referred to only by geographical location and specialism.
