Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, also known as DCMS, is a state-owned entity headquartered in the UK, employing approximately 1750 individuals. Functioning primarily in government administration, the department is responsible for strategically important parts of the economy, encompassing sectors which make up 14% of GDP, 17% of trade, and 25% of UK businesses.
On June 15, 2026, the UK government announced plans to ban social media platforms for children under 16, a move the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) described as a landmark effort to protect young users from online harms. Previously, on March 12, Leamington Spa submitted a bid to become the UK's first Town of Culture, an initiative related to the UK City of Culture program, which launched in 2009. Earlier, on February 23, the DCMS stated it is developing secondary legislation to implement the Media Act 2024, aiming to bring popular streaming services in the UK under Ofcom’s regulatory authority.
