Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Earl of Clancarty (Crossbench). It was answered by Baroness Twycross (Labour) on Wednesday, 3 December 2025.
Arts and Creative Industries: Social Mobility
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty’s Government how they intend to improve social mobility for careers in the arts and creative industries.
- Answer
-
My Lords, making creative careers accessible for everyone is a key priority for the Government. I agree wholeheartedly with the premise of the Question that there is an issue for us to address. That is why our refreshed £9 million creative careers service will focus on supporting priority areas where young people face the greatest barriers to accessing creative opportunities. It is also why last month we announced new funding for the King’s Trust to support direct routes for underrepresented groups into jobs, education and training in the sector.
