CIISA Annual Report 2024-2025 - Flipbook - Page 7
Global picture
January 2025 saw the publication of CIISA’s first international
benchmarking of safeguarding for the creative industries.
Clara Gallistl, an independent cultural policy adviser, interviewed over 40 representatives from organisations
around the world, including government bodies, trade unions, creative sector consultants, private companies
and NGOs. Drawing these interviews together with extensive desk research, the
report set out key commonalities and also differences within
local and regional legal, cultural and economic
frameworks.
The valuable research
highlighted both the global
connectivity of the creative
industries, and the shared
challenges in keeping its
talented workforce safe.
CIISA has identified a clear need
and hunger for more collaboration
in this space and has acted on
the report’s recommendations. An
international Community of Practice,
designed to connect like-minded
initiatives to share good practice and
drive consistency, is now in place with
its first meeting convened and chaired
by CIISA in June 2025.
