Updating policies

[AnonyMouse_34644]

Hi,

How does everyone go about reviewing their policies and procedures?. Also, how often do you review each one?. Currently our committee reviews them at half termly meetings but  when meetings attendance is low (which is most of the time) the reviews are moved to the next meeting.

Ours our revised annually or when new legislation comes in.  I look through them, make any changes then email them to committee and staff to look at and they make any changes that they think. I then write the review date on the bottom of the policy.

Do you mean they review all of them at each meeting (gulp), just a couple or when you ask them too?

like zigzag, I do them annually (Sept) I have a record sheet at the front and add the date and ‘R’ for reviewed but no changes needed, then work through any that need updating, no more than a couple at a time and pass to the committee to check/sign off, once done I add date agreed and ‘R/U’, then update through the year as things crop up or legislation dictates.

We review ours on a rolling program so that we look over a few every month. If legislation or guidance changes we review them then too. We keep a list of policies and procedures, the review dates and then any action taken (updated? telephone numbers or personnel changes? No changes required? etc)

Thank you for your reply.

Do you share each change with parents and, if so, immediately_

[AnonyMouse_53422]

We do this Annually and if new legislations are introduced.

A short section in the newsletter, informing parents of a change and providing a link to the website where they can read it in full.
