Artist's Resource Pack

There are good and bad things about working on your own. You make all the decisions but you carry all the responsibility. If you want to find out more about working on your own, check out the section below on working as a freelancer. This will take you to the Being freelance section of the artist’s resource site.

If you work on your own, you still may need to work with other people some times. It is always good to put information about how you will work together down on paper to make sure you all agree. If you expect someone to work for you for more than a month, they have a legal right to a written statement of employment that sets out the terms and conditions of the employment. Follow the link below to find out more about what should be in this statement. This will take you to the Working for a company section of the artist’s resource site.

If you are worried about your safety working on your own, check out the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, which is all about making sure you live life safe. It gives some good, clear guidance about working on your own. They publish The Lone Working Booklet for £2..
