Better Work will continue to follow its existing assessment process, which guarantees the
program’s credibility and has been accepted by the ILO and national constituents where the
program operates.
After registering with both Better Work and SLCP Gateway, the facility can complete the
SLCP self-assessment of Steps 1, 2 or 3 if their buyers request it. Better Work will
encourage bipartite committees to contribute to completing SLCP self-assessments. Better
Work will support the committees to build their capacity and, where possible, support on key
questions related to OSH, social dialogue, industrial relations and grievance systems, and on
ensuring worker perspectives are incorporated.
Better Work will conduct factory assessments to provide data regarding the Step 1 questions
that the facility has used for their self-assessment. They will have access to the factory selfassessment response on Step 1 as a source of information during the assessment.
