  • 1 Culture, Tourism, Europe and External
    Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee Creative Scotland – Regular Funding 2018-21 Written submission from Robert Livingston Regional Screen Scotland made a successful application in this current round of Regular Funding, and we were awarded the full amount we had requested. Throughout, our main Creative Scotland contact has been as helpful and supportive as the process allows. Nonetheless, the process was not an easy one for a small organisation such as ours, and we believe that it is seriously flawed. The following are my comments on the issues raised in the Scottish Parliament consultation document. While they are my personal views, they have been discussed with members of my Board, which includes members involved with other Regularly Funded Organisations, and my Chair has approved their submission. The process of applying for Regular Funding for the 2018 - 21 period and your experience of that application process. The crucial flaw in the Regular Funding (RFO) application and assessment process is that it requires all applicants to be treated equally, i.e. as if they had not previously received Regular Funding, indeed, as if they had never applied to Creative Scotland (CS) before. As the outcome demonstrated, the reality is that the great majority of those who were awarded RFO status in the first round, went on to retain that status in this second round—some with increases, some with cuts, but most with standstill budgets. It could hardly be otherwise. Any greater degree of change would cause a huge, and damaging, upheaval across Scotland’s cultural infrastructure. So, it would be both more honest and more realistic for CS to admit from the outset that change will be limited, that a few new clients will make successful RFO applications, and that some existing clients may lose their RFO status.
