DCMS lacks sufficient influence in driving creative industries skills agenda across Government.
Conclusion
Skills will be vital to the ability of the film and HETV sectors to contribute to the Government’s industrial strategy, but the Department for Culture, Media and Sport does not have enough of a stake in driving the skills agenda across Government. It is relying on the goodwill of the Department for Education to consider the creative industries when developing skills policy, and there is no guarantee that this will continue. We await the Government’s plans for the Growth and Skills Levy and industrial strategy and will revisit this issue if they do not address the skills needs across the creative industries.
