WORK PLACEMENTS
W e work in collaboration with our customers to ensure the people affected by, or with an interest in, our construction projects receive timely, relevant and accurate information about the works and how the activities associated with it may affect them. We will provide opportunities for these parties to give feedback, ask questions and raise issues they may be concerned about. In all instances while we are on site, we will have a positive impact on the community and build good relations with local people. This includes meeting our commitments under the Welsh Governments Community Benefit Guidelines in ensuring social benefits to the area and encouraging the next generation into a career in construction by connecting with schools and colleges and offering meaningful employment opportunities. We say what we mean so in this document we will showcase examples of how this has been implemented on previous projects.
A s part of our commitment to community engagement, our public liaison officer will work with local community groups and organisations to identify ways that we may be able to add value to the local community. This may be through our team volunteering their skills and expertise as part of our Employer Supported Volunteering programme, donation of materials or specialist services to support a community group, or through providing support to grass root community initiatives through sponsorship. Each community is individual so we believe that our support should be tailored to community needs and aspirations. Supporting communities however isn’t one dimensional and as a result our approach isn’t either. We see our social responsibility as being circular and so when we talk about community engagement we are commiting to ensuring that we provide economic benefit to the local area through providing meaningful employment, training and educational opportunities. We are also providing an assurance that we will act as ‘Good Neighbours’ and we
will show our commitment to this through the ‘Considerate Constructors’ code of practice.
