Purpose of the consultation
This consultation has completed.
The inquiry considered 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 examined the response by the Welsh Government and relevant public bodies. It also considered the Wales response in the wider, UK context.
In particular, the Committee was 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?
Stakeholders were asked to email their responses to the Committee.
