question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will take steps to help increase skills in the creative and arts sector.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2023 answer text <p>As our world-leading creative sectors continue to grow and recover from the pandemic, the Government understands the importance of ensuring that the creative industries and the arts have the skills they need, both now and in the future. The DCMS-led Creative Industries Sector Vision, due to be published soon, will set out our long-term strategic vision for the sector to 2030. Focused on promoting growth, this vision will include consideration of the opportunities and challenges regarding the skills, workforce and talent pipeline for the sector.</p><p>The Schools White Paper (2022) also set out that the Department for Education would publish a Cultural Education Plan, working with DCMS and our arms-length bodies, in 2023. The Plan aims to articulate and highlight the importance of high-quality cultural education in schools; promote the social value of cultural and creative education; outline and support career progression pathways; address skills gaps; and tackle disparities in opportunity and outcome. The crossbench peer, Baroness Bull, has been appointed to chair the independent advisory panel helping to inform the plan.</p><p>The Government continues to support initiatives to boost training and employment opportunities in the arts and creative sectors. For example, DCMS supports the industry-led Creative Careers Programme, which between 2018 and 2020 showcased creative career pathways to over 115,000 pupils at over 1,500 schools across England. The programme, relaunched in 2022 with £950,000 of Government funding, will specifically target young people from under-represented backgrounds. It will do so in 77 priority areas across England, selected using data from the Government’s education and careers opportunity areas, and Levelling Up for Culture priority places.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 20/02/2023 15:48:55 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2023 answer text <p>Arts Council England has a complaints process for its funding streams. This is available on Arts Council England’s website.</p><p>Arts Council England will only reconsider a decision if it finds that a material mistake has been made. For example, an organisation (or individual) can use the complaints process if it believes that:</p><ul><li><p>Arts Council England has delayed, made mistakes or failed to follow its own processes;</p></li><li><p>Arts Council England has failed to give an applicant access to information or has given an applicant incorrect advice or information;</p></li><li><p>Arts Council England has not treated an applicant politely;</p></li><li><p>Arts Council England has unlawfully discriminated against an applicant or not treated an applicant fairly.</p></li></ul><p>Arts Council England uses the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s principles of good complaint handling. If a complainant is dissatisfied with a decision or the way a complaint has been, complainants can refer the complaint to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO). Funding decisions by Arts Council England can also be subject to Judicial Review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 20/02/2023 15:45:10 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2023 answer text <p>The decisions made by Arts Council England about the allocation of funding for the National Portfolio Organisation 2023-26 funding round were taken at arm's length from HM Government. This is in accordance with the well established process, which is published on the Arts Council’s website and made clear in the guidance for applicants. As such, DCMS does not, nor should it, review individual decisions.</p><p>The Department works with all its public bodies, including Arts Council England, on continuous improvements and assurance. My officials will work with Arts Council England to learn from this recent funding round, as they would for any area of its work.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 20/02/2023 15:45:50 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2023 answer text <p>There is no place for sexism or any other kind of discrimination in sport, including at football grounds. It is vital that sports bodies continue to work together to tackle it.</p><p>We continue to liaise closely with all the police and football authorities about their work to tackle discrimination. This includes actions targeted at and around football grounds, such as improving reporting systems, providing better training and support for referees and stewards, and improving the quality of CCTV around stadia.</p><p>The Government also welcomes the work of organisations such as Women in Football and Kick it Out in challenging discrimination and breaking down inequalities between the sexes.</p><p>Fans can also be charged with a Football Banning Order and fined if found to use derogatory language at football games, with the possibility of more severe sentences if it has been recorded as a hate crime. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has been working with the FA, Premier League and English Football League to determine what evidence is required to charge an incident as a hate crime.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 20/02/2023 15:47:35 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
