Stage Two – Establish responsibility Upon recognising a need for development, lead responsibility needs to be delegated, as do other involved individuals, committees and groups, according to skills and expertise. Step Three – Gather and collate information Find out if there are any legal obligations in the subject area and ensure that your knowledge on the subject is accurate and up to date. Research how other organisations have tacked similar subjects and draw on previous projects/examples. Step Four – Draft Policy/ procedures/ protocol Write an initial version, ensuring that the wording and complexity are catered to those who will be required to implement it. Step Five – Consult with stakeholders Communicate with those affected to seek their views and facilitate discussion of any potential implications. Step Six – Finalise policy and obtain approval Submit the policy to the relevant persons for finalisation and approval Step Seven – Consider if supporting documentation is required If policy has been created, will procedures for implementation be necessary? If procedures have been developed, will training be required? Ensure all information required is available. Step Eight – Implement Communicate the policy to the necessary people and provide training to staff and volunteers where required. Step Nine – Monitor, review and revise Ensure that monitoring and review processes are in place to assess the effectiveness and response to policies. Review procedure ? All policies will be reviewed on a quarterly basis ? Staff and other relevant persons can put forward their views at any time via the Policy Feedback Form ? There will also be a stakeholder meeting each quarter for verbal discussion of implementation, effectiveness and any issuesArts & HumanitiesEnglish
