“You could argue that artists are almost in a constant state of ‘redundancy’, repetitiously moving from one project to the next in search of new income strands…”

Today I was on the panel for the Guardian Culture Professional’s live chat on redundancy in the arts. We examined both sides: those made redundant (how to take the news and what to do after) and those making them (the correct processes and how to adjust to a loss of staff). Also on the panel were:

• Emma Mapp, co-founder, London Photo Festival
• Supriya Chaudhary, redundancy survivor, Soopsworld
• Andrew Cowler and Samantha Danks, helpline manager and advisor, Acas
