The Tripartite Standard for Contracting Self-Employed Persons

For a start, NAC and NHB will adopt the Tripartite Standard (TS) for Contracting Self-Employed Persons, and we will be working with other cultural institutions to progressively roll this out over the course of the year. The TS will support freelancers in establishing fair contractual terms. For example, it aims to address payment issues upstream by encouraging businesses to have proper written contracts. This creates a baseline of accountability for engaging freelancers, while addressing freelancers’ immediate financial concerns arising from late or non-payment. 

Resource Center for Arts & Culture Freelancers

We will also establish a Resource Centre dedicated to supporting the professional needs of freelancers across the arts and culture sector. The centre will offer physical and digital space to aggregate resources, training programmes and materials important to all freelancers including individual rights and responsibilities, access to shared services (i.e. legal, HR, finance) as well as job and networking opportunities. We will continue to work with key stakeholders to develop further initiatives that can support the needs of our freelancers.
