We are working closely for example through the Creative Industries Council (CIC), who represent the whole of the creative industries, to understand both the possible opportunities and impacts presented by the UK\u2019s decision leaving the EU.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have also hosted a series of roundtables with businesses and industry representatives from across the creative industries to discuss these matters. We are committed to helping our world-leading creative industries thrive in a post-brexit Britain. We have also announced a sector review of the creative industries as part of the recently published Industrial Strategy Green Paper to help underpin their future prosperity.<\/p>

The Government is committed to making sure that everyone has the opportunity to experience and participate in all forms of arts and culture, and has protected funding for the arts in England over the life of this Parliament, which will support poetry, creative writing and community drama.<\/p>
In addition, Arts Council England's Creative Writing in Schools provides funding for the charity First Story, which has been able to bring professional writers into secondary schools serving low-income communities to help students find their voices and raise their aspirations.<\/p>
The Poetry Society will receive over £1 million in funding by 2018, which will help it continue to be one of Britain\u2019s most dynamic arts organisations, representing British poetry both nationally and internationally.<\/p>
Community drama which delivers a number of arts and cultural programmes to the local community, and theatre companies such as Kendal Community Theatre, who provide workshops and training for aspiring actors remain important initiatives that benefit from public funding.<\/p>
<\/p>
Ultimately poetry, creative writing and community drama are underpinned by excellent English teaching, which since 2010 we have worked tirelessly to support.<\/p>
