5 Conclusion Acknowledged
Fifth Report - Creator remuneration
Creative freelancers lack unified voice, leading to declining pay and poor conditions.
Freelancers make up a significant portion of the creative workforce but lack a single clear voice representing their interests to Government. This has resulted in a decline in pay and conditions that will cause long-term harm to the sector.
Government Response
The government acknowledges the importance of the self-employed workforce in the creative industries, noting both benefits and challenges. They highlight ongoing initiatives like the Creative Industries Sector Vision's Good Work Review and a pilot support programme for screen, and are reviewing options across departments for pan-economy support and discussing a Freelance Commissioner.
