Tda32-5.3 Evaluate How School Policies and Procedures May Be Developed and Communicated
Every school and business must have policies and procedures in place. A school's policies and procedures are adopted from laws passed by the Government. These are in place to ensure the school is run correctly, and that staff, pupils, and any other individuals involved with the school are protected and meeting expectations and guidelines. There are usually a large number of policies in place within a school. These can include policies such as Child Protection, Health and Safety, Fire Safety, Confidentiality, Anti-Bullying, Teaching and Learning, Homework, and many more. These policies and procedures are relevant to staff, pupils and parents. These policies must be updated regularly, and some of the content revised, in order to keep them relevant. Some of the policies in place relating to staff could be a pay policy, performance management, or grievance policy. These should be in place to enable staff to feel protected in the workplace as well as remaining professional.
The school polices are an agreement between parents, staff, governors and volunteers with the school rules which they all need to follow up.
Educational policies and procedures need to be reviewed on a regular basis to keep them up to date with the changes within the school establishment and government legislation. Senior members of staff will gather together in a meeting to discuss what needs amending and updating within the policies and procedures. A senior member of staff will then draft the new policy or procedure and send it over to the governors to be agreed and finalized. Each current policy is available view online, including lable for governors to details of its effective date and its next review date. When the poicy is coming up for review, the system sends an email reminder to the clerk to prompt them to initiate the review process.
Its important that all members of staff are made aware of any new policys or changes to exsisting policys. Staff are made aware by staff meetings
