As the dedicated department to the UK’s cultural, media, sporting, tourism and charity sectors, we are growing the economy and enriching lives across the country.
Our sectors support over 3.8 million jobs and our exports, from the Premier League to films, are in huge demand around the world.

We have an exciting agenda ahead - supporting the UK’s cultural and creative industries to thrive; investing in grassroots sport to increase participation; reforming football governance with fans at its heart; reviewing gambling laws; creating a media and broadcast system fit for the 21st century; delivering for young people via the National Youth Guarantee; and driving tourism.

The work we do at DCMS touches the lives of people in communities the length and breadth of the UK. So it is really important that we reflect those communities in all their wonderful diversity.
We are committed to doing the work to build a culture where everyone can be the best version of themselves; and where we bring the widest range of perspectives to bear in the work we do to drive growth and enrich lives.
Becoming more representative of the communities we serve, and more inclusive, will help ensure we are not blind to the needs and perspectives of the people our policies affect. Building an inclusive culture will help ensure that everyone can do their best work and thrive at DCMS. And by educating ourselves and influencing others, we will build sustainable change with far-reaching impact.
DCMS is for everyone, and everyone has a role to play in helping us achieve our goal to be the most diverse and inclusive department by 2025.
To become the most diverse and inclusive department in the UK Government by 2025 we will focus on three key issues:
