I have written this brief guide to help community and voluntary organisations considering the employment of a consultant. It has been written based on experience on both sides of the fence—as a senior officer in local government responsible for running numerous consultancy contracts and as a self employed consultant. The guide is not intended to deal with employment of builders or similar contractors.
Brief outline of contents follows:
