Creative UK: Policy Priorities

Creative UK: Policy Priorities

Creative UK: Policy Priorities
This summer, Creative UK is looking to launch a brand-new advocacy toolkit for the cultural and creative industries.

Launched ahead of Party Conference season, and coming one year on from the publication of the Sector Plan, The Case for the Creative Industries will outline clear priorities for the sector for any political party to consider in its policymaking – and will underpin Creative UK’s advocacy work for the coming year.

The cross-sector toolkit - a progression from our Manifesto - will contain up-to-date:
- Asks: What our network wants respective parties to understand and prioritise in their policy making;
- Data: Why the creative industries matter and why they should be taken seriously
- Success Stories: Reflections on what has worked so far.
It will not focus on specific subsectors, but will explore the wider ecosystem of the cultural and creative industries.

As we build this toolkit, we want to hear what matters to you - and how Creative UK can be the best champion for your organisation this year. We’re grateful for if you can complete this short form with more detail about your priorities.

Other
Please explain your choices or suggest additional priorities.

In your view, where has the Creative Industries Sector Plan had the greatest impact over the past year? Please provide specific examples where possible (e.g., policy changes, funding, business support, skills, regional growth).
Where do you feel the Sector Plan has not yet delivered sufficient progress or impact? Please highlight any priority areas, commitments or outcomes that remain unmet.
Looking beyond the commitments outlined in the Sector Plan, where would targeted government support, intervention or investment make the greatest difference to your work or subsector? Please be as specific as possible (e.g., access to finance, education and skills, infrastructure, innovation and R&D, regulation, trade and exports, business rates etc).
What are the three most important advocacy priorities you believe Creative UK should champion in its engagement with government and at party conferences? For each priority, please briefly outline the change you would like to see (e.g., a policy ask, funding commitment, change to regulations etc).
What are the biggest barriers currently facing your organisation or subsector? (Select up to three).
Can you share any data, case studies or examples that demonstrate the potential impact of your proposed priorities? This will help strengthen the evidence base for our advocacy work
Is there anything else you wish us to consider?
