Earlier today we were in Manchester to hear from Department for Culture, Media and Sport Secretary Lisa Nandy. Lisa was clear in her passion for the cultural and creative industries. Look forward to working together.

We ISM have been saying this for years but no one Department for Education would listen. Too committed to the Gove so called reforms
