access to support

What support is available to the creative industries?
The UK's creativity is envied worldwide and the Government is determined to provide opportunities for our creative talent to thrive.


DCMS works across government and with other organisations to ensure that the creative industries have all the support they need to succeed:


Education and skills: There are a number of government initiatives and funding schemes that support skills development and training in the creative industries. Find out about training opportunities that may be available to you.


Regional support: Regional organisations often deal with issues that have been identified as of most concern to creative companies, including access to finance.  Find out more about what support is available in your region.

Support across government: DCMS champions the cause of the creative industries across government and monitors policy that can affect creative businesses, such as tax and regulations or intellectual property rights.
