Corporate Plan

Tyne & Wear Museums Corporate Plan is a blueprint for activity, both for our venues and the organisation, covering five years up to 2012. It describes our mission, our vision for the future and our commitment to excellence. Through articulating our beliefs and our strategic aims, it describes the activities that will enable us to achieve these and the criteria by which our achievements will be measured. The plan has been generated in consultation with our key client bodies.

In short it describes why we exist, what we will do, how we will do it, how we will measure it and when we will do it by.

Tyne and Wear Museums Governance Arrangements

This is Tyne and Wear Museums first Local Code of Governance. It was approved by the Tyne and Wear Museums Joint Committee on 28 February 2008. The Local Code of Governance has been developed from a framework document produced by CIPFA (in partnership with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation) and SOLACE, but the content is very much Tyne and Wear Museums' own. The six sections of the Code define how Tyne and Wear Museums complies with the six principles of good governance laid down by the independent commission on good governance in public services. The Code will be reviewed annually. You can download the Tyne & Wear Museums Local Code of Corporate Governance here.
