DCMS aim to improve the quality of life for all through cultural and sporting activities, to support the pursuit of excellence and to champion the tourism, creative and leisure industries. They aim to increase the productivity of the creative industries, raise their profile, and support their development so that the UK can become the world's creative hub.

Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF)
Formerly the Department for Education and Skills, DCSF leads work across Government to ensure that all children and young people stay healthy and safe; secure an excellent education and the highest possible standards of achievement
enjoy their childhood; make a positive contribution to society and the economy; have lives full of opportunity; and are free from the effects of poverty.

With the help of this group, we aim to share the emerging lessons and insights quickly and effectively across a wide national network.
