Creative & Cultural Skills: What kinds of skills you think are relevant to make it as a successful freelancer?

Creative & Cultural Skills, the sector skills council for the creative and cultural industries, would like to know what kinds of skills you think are relevant to make it as a successful freelancer.

To help them do this we are asking you as to whether you could help them by completing a short survey about what skills, activities and knowledge are important for freelancers to work effectively in our sector.

The survey should only take around fifteen minutes to complete and can be found by visiting the link below.

By completing these questions you will be helping Creative & Cultural Skills to write a series of professional standards which will in turn help freelancers, employers and clients understand the skills that are needed to work as freelance.

Creative & Cultural Skills is the sector skills council for the creative and cultural industries which campaigns on behalf of advertising, crafts, cultural heritage, design, literature, music, performing and visual arts. It acts as a link between industry, government and education. The qualifications team at Creative & Cultural Skills work on curriculum reform through various projects including writing National Occupational Standards (NOS) like these. If you would like more information about the work that they do please contact them directly or visit our website: www.ccskills-nos.org.uk/freelance.html
