The Illustrated Fair Work Guide

Gaada has been included as a case study in a practical guide to Fair Work which has been published today by Culture Radar. The guide is aimed at employers in the creative and cultural sectors in Scotland - with case studies and illustrations to help digest the information.

“We are thrilled that our organisation has been included as a case study for this national guide on best practice around fair work. Gaada works hard to provide a safe and nourishing creative space in Shetland and it’s always felt an important and natural continuation to extend this approach to how we employ and work with artists. Though we are always learning, adjusting, and improving our practices – it has been great to contribute some of our experience so far to this excellent resource for other organisations.”

– Daniel Clark, Gaada

Illustrated by Maria Stoian

Commissioned by Creative Scotland and designed around the Scottish Government’s Fair Work policy, the guide will help employers understand how to build and grow workplaces that prioritise good, fair, and decent working practices for everyone – including freelance creatives.

Written by Jeanie Scott of Culture Radar, a research and consultancy practice supporting strategic change in culture and heritage, with two well respected freelance creatives and writers Morvern Cunningham and Chris Sharratt, the guide has been designed and illustrated by Maria Stoian and edited by Heather Parry – who both worked on the The Illustrated Freelancer's Guide.

The guide covers the basics of Fair Work and introduces each of the Scottish Government's Fair Work Dimensions - Effective Voice, Opportunity, Fulfilment, Respect and Security - with practical and inspiring examples of how people might put them into practice in the workplace.
