People working freelance across the Liverpool City Region’s vast creative industry are being asked to take part in a national survey to obtain a clear understanding of the challenges they face in a bid to improve working conditions.
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority is one of nine Combined Authorities across the UK reaching out to creative communities. Creative UK which is behind the Redesigning Freelancing survey, wants to understand the obstacles freelancers face locally as well as nationally to build greater equality into our freelance workforce.
According to The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS); just under one third (32%) of the creative workforce is freelance, compared to 16% across the UK generally.
The Combined Authority and other leading creative organisations such as Sky, British Film Institute (BFI), The Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed (IPSE), Freelancer Club, Scottish Ballet, March for the Arts and many others are backing the survey, which aims to shape industry standards, drive change and futureproof all parts of the work environment for freelancers across the sector to create greater long-term value and sustainability into the freelance ecology.

The Redesigning freelancing survey is open until 9 January 2023.
