MBL: The "excluded" self-employed
Adam Shaw and our panel hear from self-employed people who've been unable to get government support during the Covid crisis.
In the early days of lockdown the government announced support for the self-employed who'd had their work impacted - or even destroyed - by the pandemic. But it's estimated that more than a million people have been unable to claim any financial help from the scheme, and they've been in touch with Money Box in droves.
Adam Shaw and our panel hear from some of those who've been stuck without government support and want to know why not, and ask what other help is out there for freelancers.
Panel:
Andy Chambers - Director of Policy at IPSE, the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed
Tom Waters - Senior Research Economist from the Institute For Fiscal Studies
Caroline Miskin - Technical Manager from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales
Producer: Beth Sagar-Fenton
Editor: Emma Rippon
