How school policies and procedures may be developed and communicated
Schools need to ensure not only that policies are in place, but also that they are revised and updated on a regular basis. It is likely that each policy will be dated and also have a date for its revision. There are a large number of 'model' policies available through local education authorities as well as through the internet to assist school in drawing them up, as this can be a time consuming process. Depending on the policy the school's senior management team or person responsible for a curriculum area (for example the literacy coordinator may draft a policy and then have it checked by other staff during a staff meeting. It will then need to be agreed or ratified by the governing body before it takes effect. Although you will not be required to know the contents of every school policy, you should have read and known your responsibilities regarding
Safeguarding policy
Health and safety policy
Behaviour management policy
Consider the way you're informed about the these policies in your school
