Consultation display
Inquiry into the COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on culture, creative industries, heritage, communications and sport
Purpose of the consultation
The Culture, Welsh
Language and Communications Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the
Covid-19 outbreak in Wales.
The inquiry will consider the impact of the outbreak, and its management on sectors under the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee’s remit, including:
- culture and the creative
industries;
- heritage;
- national and community
media, including community radio;
- journalism; and,
- for the purposes of this
inquiry, we will also be looking at sport at both grass roots and elite
levels.
The Committee will examine the response by the Welsh Government and relevant public bodies. It will also consider the Wales response in the wider, UK context.
The Committee is keen to hear from anyone with an interest in this inquiry.
In addition to inviting views in writing, we will also be undertaking a programme of virtual oral evidence gathering. Full details of these sessions will be published on our website as and when they are finalised.
In particular, the Committee is interested in finding out:
- What has been the
immediate impact of Covid-19 on the sector?
- How effectively has the
support provided by the Welsh Government, the UK Government and
arms-length bodies addressed the sector’s needs?
- What will the likely
long-term impacts of Covid-19 be on the sector, and what support is needed
to deal with those?
- What lessons can be learnt
from how the Welsh Government, the UK Government, arms-length bodies and
the sector have dealt with Covid-19?
- How might the sector
evolve after Covid-19, and how can the Welsh Government support such
innovation to deal with future challenges?
How to respond:
Given the current circumstances, we are not asking for a lengthy response. Please share what you can, and we will contact you where we need more information.
There is no fixed deadline for you to submit your views. We ask that you share them with us as soon as you are able so that we can follow things up in as timely a way as possible. You are also welcome to submit more than one piece of evidence if further information becomes available as the inquiry progresses.

In line with the Senedd’s Official Languages Scheme, the Committee requests that documents or written responses to consultations intended for publication or use in National Senedd proceedings are submitted bilingually. When documents or written responses are not submitted bilingually, we will publish in the language submitted, stating that it has been received in that language only.
We expect other organisations to implement their own standards or schemes and to comply with their statutory obligation.
Please see guidance for those providing evidence for committees.
