Covid-19: Where are we now - and what could a second wave mean for freelancers?

• Webinar
• 12:30PM - 1:30PM, 6 Aug 2020
• Webinar

The Coronavirus isn’t just a health crisis; it’s an economic crisis too. This week Andy Chamberlain and Ryan Barnett, IPSE’s Economic Policy Adviser, will take a close look at the economic impact of the pandemic, the public policy response and where all this has left contractors.  They will look ahead to what might happen if and when a second wave hits. The webinar will cover:

• How have contractors and the self-employed been impacted – what does IPSE’s Freelancer Confidence Index tell us?
• How effective, or otherwise, have the Job Retention Scheme and the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme been?
• What is the likelihood of another lockdown and what would that mean for those support packages?
• What did the Chancellor say about IPSE’s proposal to expand the schemes to include dividend income?
