36 Potential of Museums & Galleries for Public Health Presentation to the 14th Inter-Island Public Health Forum 6 to 7th July 2017, Jersey Jersey

37 Structure of Presentation: 1. Carisbrooke Castle Museum Outreach Service 2. Growing Public Health Literature on Museums 3. Museums for Health and Wellbeing Survey 4. Museums Change Lives (Museum Association) 5. Examples from Island Museums: Opportunities and Constraints

38 Survey for this Conference of UK Islands & Gibraltar Historic, attempted collaborative survey of the Public Health approach to Suicide failed. This time no survey form requesting numbers and details. Instead, selected museums sent intended Powerpoint Presentation on: Potential of Museums and Galleries for Public Health... with invitation to comment. Presentation sent to 8 Islands & Gibraltar: Two replied. How might response rate be improved?! Back-up communication by snailmail! Phone apparently non-responding curators! Offer an inducement

39 What museums bring to the party: Museums are trusted organisations Follow Museums Association Ethical Standards etc Museums have independence Not part of the health/social service, faith, criminal justice or school sector Museums have shown they can address a range of issues Slavery!Tribalism (eg Africa) LGBT!War British Imperialism Museums encourage reflection Museums as public meeting spaces On Islands, public spaces tend to be limited churches and pubs etc are closing Museum objects can be available to handle in supervised sessions Ideal for memory sessions and discussion Museum staff and volunteers as educators and enthusers

40 Island specific issues & conclusions Island museums can be crowded but some have extensive space for activity Grants generally not available to Jersey, Guernsey & IOM South Uist: State of the art modern museum facility Guernsey: well used memory box scheme The Isle of Man: extensive programme of public health outreach Conclusion In spite of challenges, Museums and Galleries have considerable potential for Public Health Benefit

41 Conference theme: Understanding and addressing inequalities

42 Philosophy of Equality Equality Jan 2013: Article by Helen McCabe First published Tue Mar 27, 2001; What is Equality? Substantive revision Wed Jun 27,

43 Equality Act 2010 Has the same goals as 4 key EU Equal Treatment Directives Mainly codifies existing legislation Parts do not apply in Northern Ireland

44 People in more equal societies live longer, have better mental health and have better chances for a good education regardless of their background. Community life is stronger where the income gap is narrower, children do better at school and they are less likely to become teenage parents. When inequality is reduced people trust each other more, there is less violence and rates of imprisonment are lower.

45 Income Equality by Country Gini Coefficient (World Bank) 0 Everyone has the same income 100 One person has all the income

46

47 Election Inequality Topics Pensioners v hard working families Higher rate taxation Energy market England v Devolved Authorities
