Social Value Self-Assessment Tool

The word "Professional" written in on a post-it note

The Social Value Self Assessment Tool is a free tool designed to help users judge how well they are measuring and reporting on their social value, in line with the Principles of Social Value. It was created in collaboration with Hall Aitken.

The tool is comprised of a seven-stage questionnaire, showing results as a spider chart illustrating areas of strength and areas for improvement.

Individual accounts

The tool provides guidance, support and more advice to individuals who want to improve the way in which their organisation measures their social value and assesses their service delivery but don’t know where to start. To access the tool, users can create an account and sign up for free here.

Policy templates

The impact team at Kingston Smith Fundraising and Management, in collaboration with Social Value UK, have designed a template for organisations interested in embedding social value into their organisation or projects. This template outlines a flexible social value policy which can be adapted for all organisations and projects.

Please note: These policy templates were developed prior to the launch of Principle 8.
