Good Work commitment statement

The Creative and Cultural National Lottery and Grant in Aid funders across the UK believe that all professionals working in the creative and cultural industries deserve fair pay, safe working conditions and opportunities to develop and progress. We are therefore committed to upholding the principles of Good and Fair Work, both as employers and in our creative and cultural funding programmes. 

Good Work in the creative sectors was defined in the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre’s Good Work Review, and encompasses these core principles:

  • fair reward, terms and conditions 
  • a balance of security and flexibility 
  • autonomy and personal fulfilment
  • skill use, development and progression
  • agency, voice and representation
  • a healthy, respectful, safe, and inclusive work environment

We will work closely with partners, funded organisations, and member representative bodies to support understanding and adoption of Good and Fair Work by organisations across our sector including by award recipients where applicable.
