Background

Diversity and inclusion are key issues for the creative industries. Good work and growth in the sector sit alongside the challenge of offering access to the wide range of opportunities in the creative industries. Here there is a prominent focus on ‘what works’ for inclusion and diversity, across a range of protected characteristics along with socio-economic diversity. Inclusion is also dependent on good working environments, and DCMS is keen to understand the extent of poor working conditions and how best to address them.
