Ways of working
Organisations engage with this work in different ways, depending on where they are and what they need.
There is no expected progression. The right option is the one that fits your context and capacity.

Get Ready: A Practical Process for Inclusive Practice
For organisations that need clarity, shared understanding and proportion before taking action.
This option supports early thinking, orientation and readiness.

The Take the Space Implementation Framework (Heritage Edition)
For organisations ready to embed inclusive, anti-racist and (where relevant) decolonial practice into how they operate.
The Implementation Framework is delivered through one of two pathways. Organisations choose one, based on scope.
Pathway A — Inclusive & Anti-Racist Practice
This pathway is right if your organisation:
- Wants to embed inclusive and anti-racist practice across systems
- Is not working directly with decolonisation of collections or narratives
- Needs coherence across governance, interpretation, workforce, access and engagement
Pathway B — Inclusive, Anti-Racist and Decolonial Practice
This pathway is right if your organisation:
- Is working with decolonisation alongside race equity and inclusion
- Holds multiple strategies that need bringing into one system
- Wants to avoid fragmented or contradictory approaches
Guided delivery is recommended for this pathway due to the depth and integration of the work.

Strategic Implementation Partnership
For complex organisations that need bespoke, long-term support to hold this work over time.
- This option is designed for organisations that:
- Are complex, multi-departmental or multi-site
- Need bespoke approaches across different functions
- Want on-going partnership rather than time-limited delivery
- Need support to hold this work over time
