- The Coronavirus Self-Employment Income Support Scheme was set up to help the self-employed out of work throughout the pandemic.
But The Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that around 650,000 self-employed people aren’t getting support due to not having tax records prior to 2019.
This is directly affecting young people new to industries across the UK.
Fredi, Zac and Dom from Enfield have all been impacted by this.
Bectu, The Broadcasting, Entertainment, Communications and Theatre Union, is calling on the government to change the current scheme.
