Freelance Charter gathers pace
Recruitment woes and working conditions took centre stage at the second Coalition for Change meeting, as progress was made towards creating a Freelance Charter.

Broadcasters and major indie groups will be asked to sign up, with Coalition for Change chair Adeel Amini hoping it will be ready later in the year.
The idea was first floated when the Coalition was officially revealed at the Edinburgh Television Festival, with the industry’s biggest organisations pledging to ensure all freelancers enjoy decent working conditions and are treated with respect.
