Why does Better Work only assess SLCP’s Step 1?
As an International Labour Organization (ILO) programme, the Better Work unannounced
assessment assesses compliance with International Labour Standards, National Labour Laws
and other national/international instruments as agreed to with national constituents. Better
Work will therefore only assess Step 1 and share assessment data for Step 1 of SLCP’s CAF
v1.4.0. Better Work teams will have visibility over self-assessment data during the
assessment, but they will follow Better Work standard assessment methodologies.
The data received for Step 1 of the CAF v.1.4.0 includes factory self-assessed data, in
addition to data from a Better Work unannounced assessment of Step 1, which has been
implemented in line with its assessment approach and protocols under the ILO.
