Policies & procedures consultancy package:

Having your policies and procedures up-to-date and effective is very important for avoiding problems - the impacts of which can be extremely severe. However, it is one of those jobs which often remains at the bottom of the list when there is so much else going on. Often funders ask to see that your policies are  current.

Our designated consultant will work with you over a time-scale of your choosing to review all of your policies taking a risk-based approach. They will make detailed recommendations for updating (or developing) the main policies. They will also ensure that you have a clear action plan for any other policies and procedures you will need and the guidance and templates you need.
