On the 14th August, Creative UK released a whitepaper outlining their vision for the newly announced 'Freelance Champion' who'll soon be serving the UK Government. The group, which has always been a significant champion of diverse voices across the sector, is encouraging the development of a new data model that accurately maps freelance employment patterns, ensuring that contractors can... ✔️ Access skills programmes and continued professional development. ✔️ Receive fair assessments for business loans, mortgages, and credit. ✔️ Receive incentives for optionally contributing to their retirement fund. We're 100% behind them. "Freelancers are the backbone of the creative industries – comprising up to two-thirds of the workforce in some subsectors. The introduction of this much-campaigned for role sends an important message that freelancers are valued – and that their rights are being taken seriously. With the responsibilities for the role currently being scoped, this paper proposes an approach rooted in evidence and data."
