Recommendation 7

7 Acknowledged

Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority requires legal provisions and sustainable funding to operate effectively.

Conclusion
We support the creation of the Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority (CIISA). Crucially, it will be a single, recognisable body that anyone in the industry can turn to for support and advice. It is well placed to help effect cultural change in the industry once it is fully operational. It can only do so, however, if underpinned by the necessary legal provisions and sustainable funding. (Conclusion, Paragraph 49)
Government response summary AI-generated
The government agrees on the importance of strong, cross-industry support and funding for CIISA, with the Culture Secretary expressing clear support and engaging with CIISA. It expects the sector to provide this funding, warning of potential government intervention if it is not forthcoming.
