Government Response
Accepted
HM Government
Accepted
The government agrees that public funding for ScreenSkills must be linked to their effective delivery. ScreenSkills is primarily funded through voluntary industry contributions through their Skills Investment Funds. In 2025/26, ScreenSkills is receiving grant funding for delivery of the Creative Careers Programme. This funding is linked to specific, measurable outcomes that align with programme objectives. Under its new five-year strategy, ScreenSkills is already delivering new work including its comprehensive research piece on the screen workforce. This data is a vital first step in targeting future interventions successfully. We encourage ScreenSkills to remain ambitious in its goals, to continue to work to secure the confidence of industry, and to engage strategically with other bodies across the UK-wide skills landscape.
