If the Creative Industries Council endorses the report

We ask DCMS, BIS and DfE:• To charge the CIC Skillset Skills Group with developing

an implementation plan and co-ordinating co-investment bids to relevant Government Funds

We ask DCMS and BIS:• To press release and publish the report with the

Secretaries of States’ endorsement, encouraging collaboration and support for implementing its recommendations

• That Secretaries of State and relevant Ministers lend their support to implementation by attending key events and helping to clear any hurdles

If the Creative Industries Council endorses the report

We ask BIS:• That the Secretary of State asks the LEPs with an interest in

Creative Industries and SSCs to collaborate and co-ordinate in order to align support and messaging for employers, training and education providers and individuals

We ask DCMS:• That the Secretary of State writes to ask HMRC to continue its

work with the Creative Industries on fair employment practices and asks them to consider the tax implications of companies training their freelancers

We ask DfE:• That they charge a key civil servant to work with a Creative

Industries working group over the next 12 months to co-ordinate all strands of interest from both sides to address and agree mutual strategic agendas

• That the CIC continue to work through the CIC Skillset Skills Group to develop the implementation and action plan

 • That employers, trade associations and unions 

• help to publicise the report and work within their areas and together to achieve the recommendations

•  

• develop co-invested proposals supported by Skillset Skills Group to submit to relevant Government competitive investment

 • That CIC members may wish to identify key strands that

they wish to help champion and or where their organisations may be able to lend expertise and content to help shape, deliver and communicate solutions

If the Creative Industries Council endorses the recommendations
