Tate Museums plan to award interns the London living wage

In an unprecedented move, management at Tate Museums have decided to award all interns the London living wage. The plans are outlined in a report published by the Tate's Diversity Group, Tate for All, and are due to be implemented later this year.
The policy proposes that going forward Tate would pay interns at least the National Minimum Wage and will seek to award them the London living wage.
 This would be a significant change for Tate and ' would have an impact upon the number of interns that Tate could host'.
 The report states that 'our aim through this would be to have a smaller but better managed internship programme through which makes a demonstrable contribution to developing and diversifying our future workforce'
