CIISA sets out three-year strategy

Empowering Creativity by Protecting People sets out CIISA’s vision to support the UK’s world-leading creative industries through 2026-29.

Aimed at supporting safe and inclusive working environments for everyone in the creative sector, the strategy details the roll-out of services including in 2026/27 an Independent Reporting Service to close accountability gaps and a data and insight function to bring greater understanding of issues the sector faces, and from 27/28 an early-intervention function to help identify and deal with problems before they escalate, including the introduction of mediation and arbitration services developed specifically for the needs of the creative industries.

There are several resources immediately available to help embed the CIISA Standards across the creative sector with many more planned, designed to provide consistency of expectations around behaviour and to drive-up professional standards.

Also key throughout 2026-29 will be extensive engagement with CIISA’s users and the broader industry to ensure it is responsive to the sector’s needs.
