Recommendation
As part of this process, the Government should also undertake an audit of necessary skills in cultural placemaking and collaborative policymaking, and provide a roadmap as to how the provision of these skills and best practice can be delivered and shared to local authorities and partnerships that need and want them.
Government Response Summary
The government does not agree to undertake an audit and roadmap of skills in cultural placemaking and collaborative policymaking, believing it would duplicate existing resources.

Government Response

HM Government
Rejected
As set out in the response to the recommendation in paragraph 58, Government, Arms-Length Bodies, and wider local and regional bodies are already providing a significant amount of training and skills development programmes for cultural, creative, and heritage organisations and partnerships, as well as for local and regional government representatives and wider stakeholders. We are sharing and will continue to share these resources with relevant stakeholders as required. As such, we do not agree with the Committee’s proposal that an audit and roadmap of skills in cultural placemaking and collaborative policymaking is necessary, and risks duplicating existing resources and programmes developed by Government, its Arms- Length Bodies, and wider stakeholders - such as the Connected Growth Manual, published by DCMS in 2019,39 or the LGA’s Cultural Strategy in a Box, published in 2020.40
