CHIC’s Contractors – Social Value Call to Arms
 
Social Value features very strongly on the CHIC agenda. Our standing requirement is the creation of one FTTO (Full time NVQ L2 training opportunity) for every £1M of contract turnover.

This year we have directly sponsored 8 people who were distant from employment into permanent jobs, through local employment organisations, adding to 22 completed for the previous year.

However, we are aware that there is a lot more important investment in apprentices and trainees going on behind the scenes with contractors and suppliers and there are several other Social Value outcomes that we would like to capture for the CHIC Annual Report.

To make the process simple we have created the short survey below. We would greatly appreciate your help in completing this (which may need to be populated with the help of your HR/Training or Social Value colleagues) by Friday 21st May.  All results will be collated for the Annual Report with areas of special interest being followed up for individual case studies.

Clarke Willmott - Housing Week 2021

Partners of CHIC’s Legal Services Framework, Clarke Willmott, will be hosting a series of social housing webinars over the next 2 days.

Over the various sessions, their social housing experts (and some guest speakers) will cover a range of topics, all of which are from different legal areas which can support you and your organisation. At each session there will also be a Q&A, providing an opportunity for you to get preliminary guidance on specific issues.
