Workshop on risk management

Significance International is delighted to announce its second
Sustainable Collections Workshop.

Risk Management for Collecting Organisations
Canberra, Australia
10-11 February 2011

This short course is being developed and delivered by Veronica
Bullock and Vicki Humphrey. It will introduce you to the 'big
picture' of risk management for organisations, as well as to the
detail of risk assessment and management models from the field of
cultural heritage.

We expect this course will be useful to people from a range of
professional backgrounds--whether they are located in archives,
galleries, libraries or museums, or in large organisations with
comparatively small history or data collections.

Thus conservators, curators, facilities managers, library and
archive managers, occupational health, safety and welfare officers,
finance officers, managers of collecting organisations, and council
officers with responsibility for heritage collections are encouraged
to register.

At the end of this two day workshop you will be able to:

    Better understand risk management strategy and its benefits for
    collecting organisations

    Confidently assess risk for a collection

    Design and develop a risk register

    Develop proportionate responses to identified risks

Participants are asked to bring along an object (or prop) with which
they are familiar, including any documentation about its usual
environment. Your item will be discussed at the workshop and will
contribute to a group-based risk scenario.

Cost: $AUD500 (plus $50 GST within Australia) includes generously
catered morning and afternoon breaks and a 'Certificate of
Completion'.

Book soon as there is a limit of 12 participants per workshop.
