<p>Our internal efforts on improving social mobility include the appointment of
a senior social mobility champion, participation in the Social Mobility Foundation
Employer Index and programmes such as the Summer Diversity Internship Programme. We
are also working closely with the Cabinet Office on improving social mobility
through the Civil Service Diversity and Inclusion Strategy which was launched in
October 2017.</p><p> </p><p>DCMS has also made significant investments into programmes
that help young people develop skills outside school, and participate in their communities.
This includes £80 million, invested in partnership with the Big Lottery Fund, into
the Youth Investment and #iwill Funds; continuing to back the growth of the National
Citizen Service; and securing £90 million of dormant accounts money to support disadvantaged
and disengaged young people into employment.</p>
