How to use this free Social Licence Health Check
Rate ten areas of community relations, grievances, procurement, commitments, communication and environmental confidence. Focus on the lowest-rated practices, not an unqualified claim of community consent.
Who this helps
Mining, energy and infrastructure social-performance teams.
Example application
A community-relations team can use the output to prepare questions for affected communities and prioritise overdue commitments..
Limits and interpretation
The output is a practical starting point, not a verified professional assessment. Confirm the facts, jurisdiction, assumptions and intended purpose before using any result for a consequential decision.
Frequently asked questions
Does the score establish community consent?
No. Consent and social licence depend on actual rights, relationships, context and the affected people’s views.
How often should the assessment be updated?
Repeat after meaningful engagement, operational changes or grievance trends, and document why responses changed.
Should we publish the score?
Only with a transparent methodology, validated evidence and appropriate stakeholder context.
