About these policies

  • You can't (or shouldn't) rely on these sample policies and procedures alone. They are a starting point, but you will have to adapt them.
  • Most samples include both policies and procedures (the policies provide guidance on standards, while procedures give instructions on implementing standards). We recommend adopting policies at a board level, while procedures are developed/signed off by the organisation's CEO.
  • We use the term 'board' to cover boards, committees of management, or any body that has final authority in your organisation. And, the term 'CEO' extends to executive directors, or your chief administrator.
