About this course

A Social and Labour Plan is not a glossy brochure. It is a condition of a mining right, approved by the state and enforceable by it. This course takes you through the whole SLP life cycle, from drafting and consultation to the annual report, so that the promises a mine makes are promises it can keep and prove.
