What does the launch of the Converged Assessment Framework v1.4 with the Law Overlay mean in practice in Better Work countries?
Once the CAF is launched and available in a Better Work country, Step 1 will have a Law Overlay, a guide containing information on core international labor standards, national laws and ILO norms, to support compliance determinations in each particular country.
Both Better Work and non-Better Work facilities will have access to the national Law Overlay, which will also be available via SLCP’s Accredited Hosts.
Throughout 2020, ILO-BW and SLCP collaborated to review and update Step 1 of the Tool under the Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) v1.4. As a result of this process, and pending approval from their constituents, Better Work will use the Step 1 of the SLCP Data Collection Tool, which captures data from the Better Work Compliance Assessment Tool (agreed with national constituents in each Better Work country) and includes essential data points to determine compliance with national laws and international labor standards. It will be possible for facilities to share their data from a Better Work assessment through the SLCP Gateway to share with business partners on other platforms.
