01 A plain statement

What is and is not in place

In place

  • A written booking agreement for every booking, setting out fees, deposit, cancellation and liability.
  • Performers engaged under written agreements as self-employed contractors.
  • Public liability insurance of at least £5 million held by every performer, with the certificate checked before each booking.
  • Invoices addressed to your organisation, quoting your purchase order or reference.
  • For events involving children or vulnerable adults, a written safeguarding arrangement, with a responsible adult from your organisation present throughout.

Not in place yet

  • We are a new agency, so we are not yet on any public sector framework or approved supplier list.
  • Our supplier pack is being put together. Each document is listed with its current status on our supplier information page, and nothing is listed before it exists.
