Unit 205: Evidence covered: Outcome 5 5.1, 5.2

1. Write a short assignment describing why schools have policies and procedures.

Policies and procedures are a legal requirement within all organisations and this includes schools. All schools must meet all current legislation which provides clear guidelines to governors, all school staff, parents and all other individuals who are involved with running the school. These policies and procedures should regularly be reviewed and updated as and when required.

Due to the large number of policies involved in successfully running a school, it is important that copies of all policies are available to all staff and that they are able to access these policies as and when required.
