Our Commitment to Fair Work

At The Village Storytelling Centre (VSC), we are committed to operating within the 5 key principles of Fair Work. We recognise that fair working is a journey, where we are always learning and always working towards better practice.

We are dedicated to providing all our staff a safe, rewarding and nurturing environment in which their talents are appreciated, they are trusted, provided with training and support, and where their voices are heard. We are actively working to advance the Fair Work First criteria by:

Providing Effective Voice: We provide effective channels for communication, and consulting meaningfully with employees so they can be actively involved in organisational decision-making.

Ensure Opportunity: We seek to promote equality, diversity and inclusion in all areas of our work and staff/artist development, where talent from all sections of society is valued, developed and utilised.

Fostering Fulfilment: We provide opportunities for training, development and creative input, prioritising staff wellbeing and celebrating their achievements.

Nurturing Respect: We foster a culture of respect by establishing and putting into practice organisational values that promote respect and dignity, with everyone embodying behaviours and attitudes that consider the concerns of others.

Promoting Security: We commit to fair and equitable contracts for all staff and freelance/associates with flexible working and the Real Living Wage as minimum.
