What's on Calendar

Freelancers are the life blood of many cultural organisations and in this workshop Melanie Shee, from Creative and Cultural Skills, will work with cultural organisations to help them better understand what constitutes sound practices for working with freelancers.

This session is aimed at organisations that contract freelancers and will cover:

• Understanding freelancing, and why it matters: the risks to your business, and what individuals may be missing out on if you get this wrong
• What defines freelancing
• What freelancers are responsible for
• What the hiring business is responsible for
• How to distinguish between freelancing and fixed-term employment

This session is accompanied by a Working with the Self-Employed digital resource.

This workshop is free, but places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment.

This workshop is part of the Making the Most of South Tyneside initiative, a professional development programme for creative practitioners living or working in South Tyneside. The programme has been commissioned by the South Tyneside Cultural Partnership and funded by South Tyneside Cultural Development.
