Discussion
How do the legalresponsibilities
affect museums on a day-to-day basis?
![Page 9: A practical guide to equality action planning Skin, ACE Dance and Music Photo: Brian Slater November 2015 Ruth Kapadia Relationship Manager, Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070605/5a4d1af47f8b9ab0599809ed/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Monitoring engagement
Why is it useful to know about your visitors?
What data do you hold? What can you collect?
Ask the right questions; sensitively. Look for examples of best practice.
Make sure you know what you are going to do with the answers.
