Our Policies
Payment:
All clients are required to pay a £5/month fee. An invoice is sent at the start of each month to the client, all this money goes to covering production costs, editing, representation, SEO work and general admin. If you can’t afford this per month, we offer a scholarship offer, where you could get a fully funded place on our entertainment business, if you cannot afford. This is a standard price and the cheapest in the industry because we believe that everyone deserves a chance to shine! Most media businesses are between the prices of £30/month to £100/week, so our monthly fee is low because we want to make it accessible for everyone!
Do you allow work experience and jobs at your company?
We do not offer work experience, nor do we offer paid jobs at this moment in time. All jobs are part time and voluntary, because we are an independent company many people work with us because they want to work with new clients, want some experience to put on their CV, or just simply want to work with us as a hobby. Most of our staff help us alongside their full time job. However, in the future we may offer paid jobs. Any talent working with our company usually pay for their own agencies and PR firms for personal use.
I live elsewhere in the Uk, can i volunteer with you?
We allow those from all over the world to be represented by us, should they have a social media account they want to grow or want to get involved more in the media world. Unfortunately at this moment in time we cannot sponsor visa’s as we are a not for profit company and we don’t have access to sign them as we are fully online.
What sort of Licences does the company own?

Bullying and safeguarding:
It’s our duty to make sure all our clients are safe. Any client who joins our company who is unkind, or uses profanity on any of their social media or who threatens another user, will be terminated from the company immediately. Any in-appropriate behaviours, or messages that are sent through via email about any client, or any aggressive messages are removed by the company immediately. Anyone who refuses to show a recent DBS, that has been awarded in the last year, will also be terminated, especially if you work with our minors. We do not allow anyone to work with us, who has not been on our safeguarding course, neither has the right qualifications to work in our company. We do not sponsor visa’s neither do we give money to unregistered charities or people online, because they need help, due to safeguarding our members and due to a increase in fraudulent activity.
representation:
We aren’t an agency, so please don’t email us stating, i haven’t got any work. We have company opportunities and brand opportunities, but our main focus is production, SEO, social media growth and online management of our clients. All our clients are allowed to be with acting, or modelling agencies while signed with us, because we are management company not a talent agency. All representation is under our Lydia A Entertainment Group which you can find more about here.
