Creative Industries Federation launch Creative Diversity Report

The Creative Industries Federation, in partnership with the MOBO organisation, have launched Creative Diversity – The state of diversity in the UK’s creative industries and what we can do about it.

Drawing on benchmark studies from across the spectrum of creative disciplines, as well as a range of insights and analysis from industry heavyweights, “Creative Diversity” reaches behind the headline figures to present a detailed and compelling “state of the creative nation” narrative.

The study is a new analysis that looks behind the headline figures to reveal Britain’s world-beating creative industries are not as diverse as they first appear.

It argues that while diversity has been long seen as a matter of social justice, there is a hard-headed business case for tackling the failure to capitalise on the full range of talent available and ensure that the creative industries remain the fastest-growing part of the UK economy.

And it provides a compendium of best practice by forward-looking organisations and businesses that have already acted to improve the diversity of their staff. It also includes case studies to show how everyone can act now to make a difference.
