Policy and strategy documents
Documents will need to be accessible if being published on the website. See the ‘Accessibility Essentials‘ section for more information, including how to add accessible tables and graphs to documents.
Policy document
There is a front cover template to be used for all policies.
It is important that the template is used and populated as this helps the public and staff to see how up-to-date the policy is and the approval process that the policy has followed.
