Without some form of accreditation scheme:

• How do you prevent inappropriately skilled people from damaging highly skilled work?
• How will clients know where to find the right-skilled people?
• How can practitioners get recognition for their conservation skills and experience?

This event will discuss the pros and cons of accreditation, as well as exploring how any potential scheme might work.

Panellists will include Adrian Legge, Blacksmithing Education Specialist, and James Grierson, Chair of the Institute of Conservation (Icon).
