Writing Policies and Procedures
This course has been written for officers whose role includes the development and implementation of policies and procedures.
It is a very comprehensive session which covers the whole process from the scoping of the policy through to its implementation in the workplace.

- Scope a policy by defining its purpose and readership

- Construct procedures that are clear and easy to follow
- Explain the principles of an Equality Impact Assessment
- Edit and proof the document

Additional Information
The session is very practical and will involve a range of different exercises – and by the end of the day everyone who has attended will have a framework in place for a work-based policy that they need to develop.
There will be opportunities for 1:1 discussion with the tutor, and plenty of input, advice and guidance.
A comprehensive workbook is provided.
