CCS NEWSLETTER
December 2021
Dear Considerate Constructor,

As we approach the end of the year, I am delighted to share with you some key updates for 2022 that will enable the Considerate Constructors Scheme to continue to support you, your site teams and organisations to raise standards across the industry.

We have ensured that it is simple and straightforward for all registration activities to continue to be available in the usual way for all sites and organisations and, with some specific updates for 2022, the Code of Considerate Practice and Scheme monitoring will continue to support those registered with the Scheme to address current challenges and create positive impact.

In addition, new optional modules will enable sites and organisations to publicly demonstrate their commitment to creating positive construction legacies beyond the Core Code of Considerate Practice in areas such as Leadership and Culture, Net Zero and Workforce Wellbeing.

The updates will be underpinned by continual support for all Registered Activity throughout 2022 including guidance and learning tools through a new insight dashboard, online webinars, the Best Practice Hub and our recognition and awards programme.

On behalf of everyone at the Considerate Constructors Scheme, I would like to thank you for your continued engagement and commitment to raising standards and building trust in the construction industry.

Wishing you a very happy festive break and a safe and prosperous New Year.

Best Regards

Amanda Long

CODE OF CONSIDERATE PRACTICE CHECKLIST UPDATES
We are pleased to share the updated Code of Considerate Practice and Checklist for 2022, which will become effective Saturday 1 January 2022.

The 2022 Code is now presented in three sections – Respect the Community, Care for the Environment, Value their Workforce – and Registered Activity will receive a performance level and score for each Code section as well as for the overall report. 
RECOGNITION
In 2022 our recognition programme will celebrate Individual, Team and Organisational success.

Our Annual Awards will celebrate individual, team and organisational achievement, building on Code conformance in the areas of community, environment, and the workforce. A simple submissions process will enable applicants to use existing material in support of their application for example via Best Practice Hub and Innovation contributions. 

Additionally, high levels of conformance to the Code of Considerate Practice will also be recognised through certificates stating conformance levels, and regional networking opportunities.
FEES
Following a two-year fee freeze, prices will increase by 6% as of 1 January 2022 in light of inflation and ongoing investment in the Scheme’s offering.
REGISTRATION AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Terms and Conditions have been updated into one document for 2022, revised for clarity with some specific additions.
OPTIONAL ADDITIONS FROM JANUARY
Optional self-assessment tool

The introduction of an optional self-assessment tool will help Registered Activity prepare for a monitoring visit. The optional self-assessment tool will be available via your Dashboard ahead of your next visit.

Registered Activity that does not wish to use the self-assessment tool will continue to receive monitoring visits in the usual way.

Optional Leadership and Culture module

From January, Registered Activity will also be able to select our optional Leadership and Culture Module which supports company resilience and growth.
JANUARY DROP-INS FOR REGISTERED ACTIVITY
To support with understanding and implementing the 2022 updates, a series of online learning sessions will be available in the new year. Look out for the invite emails early in the new year to book your place to attend.
The Considerate Constructors Scheme is proud to support the CRASH Christmas card appeal.
