Schedule for policy review
As mentioned in last month’s Bulletin, we have been reviewing the process for policy review.
We now have a new schedule for policy review, and we hope this spreads the load a little for anyone wanting feedback on policies and procedures.
We know that there will need to be spontaneous reviews from time to time, anyone is welcome to send feedback on any policy or procedures to [email protected] at any time.
Each month we’ll be sure to let you know which policies/ procedures are up for review so that you can give us feedback on these. Centres as a whānau decide whether the national policy/ procedure is fit for purpose or if changes might be required.
Centres may choose to do this in a way that suits their centre, ensuring that they allocate a person to submit feedback.
Policy for review this month
With the large number of Health and Safety Procedures we require, we thought it might be helpful to suggest times when refreshers at the centre could happen. We hope that this supports the running of your centre, as well as providing an opportunity for feedback.
Procedure refreshers for this month
Laundering Procedure
Nappy Changing and Disposal Procedure
A centre practice may be necessary to provide further detail on how the Policy will be enacted at the centre. eg with the laundering procedure, the centre practice may state ‘Whānau take washing home after each session as per the roster sent out at the beginning of term.
Some ideas for reviewing Policies and Procedures
- Discussion as a group at a Centre Business Meeting,
- Using email to distribute links to Policies to all members and seek feedback,
- Using other communication tools used by the Centre to distribute policy and procedures for review and seeking feedback.
- Printing out documents and putting them somewhere prominent for whanau to review and comment on.
