THE 5 GUIDING PRINCIPLES
FAIR PAY
Includes recognition of all the work undertaken - including planning, travel etc
Also the level of experience
of the Freelancer.
Agreeing pay-scales with Freelancers.
INCLUSION
Supporting diversity - referencing current best practice & language. Continuously re-examining & questioning internal structures & the culture within organisations to ensure inclusivity is the norm.
REPRESENTATION
Ensuring that Freelancers are represented in any decision making that affects Freelancers - borrowing the phrase:
'Nothing about us
without us'.
TRANSPARENCY
1. When contracting: what does a job entail and what is the budget?
Clarity from the outset.
2. Recording & publishing data around Freelancers contracted, & sharing examples of best practice.
SUSTAINABILITY
Exploring ways to support Freelancers throughout whole careers - Recognising that Freelancing
is by its
nature precarious & support is needed to keep people in the profession.
