If you are absent from work due to sickness or injury for 7 days or less you will need to complete a Self Certification Form. If the sickness or injury lasts for longer than 7 days you will need to provide a Fit Note from your doctor.
Self Certification forms can be found on the intranet: Documents/Information & Policies/ Forms, Guides and How To/ Forms/ For Staff
Once the form has been completed this needs to be returned to HR.
BCLM SELF CERTIFICATION SICKNESS FORM Dec 2018
The Museums & Resilient Leadership Programme (MRL) has been run by the Museum for the last 5 years, thanks to funding from Arts Council England. It’s a year-long programme aimed at those working in the cultural sector who wish to develop their leadership ambitions, particularly (but not exclusively) to those at the mid-point of their career. The Programme will help you become more resilient and work out how you can best make a contribution to our sector.
A place is secured each year for a member of staff from BCLM. Applications for the MRL 2019-2020 Programme are now open, & will be until 5pm on 31 January 2019. You can apply via this link – http://www.museumresilience.com/application-mrl-2019-2020/.
If you’re interested in applying but want to find out more, or discuss your eligibility, then please take a look at the website (http://www.museumresilience.com/), or you can contact Jo Turner to arrange a chat with Andrew or one of the MRL Directors. You should also discuss your interest with your line manager.
The fantastic volunteers at the Knit & Natter group recently celebrated their 3 year anniversary with tea, cake and of course knitting! We’d like to say a big thank you to all of them for all of the contributions they have made to the Museum over the years. Many of us are kept warm in the winter by the garments that the group have made, and we hope that they continue to enjoy joining us in the future.
This week we say goodbye to two members of staff.
Josefine Frank, Assistant Head of Learning, will be leaving the Museum to take up a role in Germany and Tessa Lovell, Head of Visitor Engagement, left the Museum this week to pursue new opportunities.
Thank you to Josefine and Tessa for their work and commitment. We wish them every success in the future.
Any interim arrangements felt to be necessary will be put in place and communicated in the coming weeks.

On Monday 3 December, after a nineteen month Development Phase, we submitted, as planned, our Round Two application to the Heritage Lottery Fund. At £9.4m, it is the same level when we received, against huge odds, our Round One pass in April 2017. It represents the largest, but not the only remaining piece of the funding jigsaw, to get us to £22.2m and a fully-funded project.
Work will carry on until March next year, when we expect to have a decision from the HLF on our application. In the meantime, and at this hugely important milestone, I want to thank you all for the work you have done and the enthusiasm you have shown, to get us to this very positive position, and the opportunity you have helped create for the future of this museum. It is a tremendous application and project and therefore, I am extremely optimistic about the outcome.
