The day Vicky is referring to was run by the Freelance Network. I posted the support materials from the 2012 Freelance Sharing Day on the Freelance Network email discussion group. The 2011 Freelance Day covered writing a brief.

I think the presentations from the day were going to be made available on the GEM website. I’ve just had a quick look but can’t find them – perhaps they are in the members’ only area? I would add writing the brief/tender documents as another area where training is needed.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of jocelyn goddard Sent: 25 October 2012 13:32 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Freelance contracts I think there is a wider discussion to be had here, which is about the interface between self-employed professional colleagues and the organisations that wish to employ them. It is often clear from briefs and interviews that some prospective clients are more used to the recruitment of an employee to a post than they are to the selection of an external freelance person or company contracted to produce a set of outputs and outcomes within a time-limited context. The kind of recruitment and selection training I received as a local authority manager did not equip me to be confident about finding the right external company for a job, negotiating the fees, setting up and monitoring the contract etc etc. We had to pick that up from others as we went along. Now that so much more external commissioning is happening, this may be changing too. It would be interesting to know.
