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 …show more content…

Teachers need to check their mail box daily for any corraspondance from other members of staff and Head of the school.
The first aim of this step is to ensure that the working group is well informed about the policy issue/s and is aware of all potential avenues or options available to them in developing and implementing the policy. To do this you can:
• talk to other schools who have developed similar policy
• talk with experts
• contact school systems/government departments if it is relevant — seek background information and obtain copies of relevant legislation or policies
• talk with members of the school community.
The second aim of this step is to inform the school community about the broad policy development process and to provide an
The main policies relating to behaviour will be the behaviour policies but other policies will also have an impact for example the health and safety policies, child protection policies and anti-bullying policies. All adults in school are expected to act as good role models and to behave in a consistent manner. We make sure that good behaviour is recognised and praised as well as praising children for good work, effort and achievement.
Along with the above there must be an action plan in place to outline methods of removing discriminatory barriers for example:
governors, community and other individuals involved with the school. The policy documents are reviewed by the senior management team and they are often developed through consultation and discussions with the service users. Some documents have to be displayed clearly within the school setting, they include the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Public Liability Insurance Certificate.

Regulations in place to ensure compliance is records locked and secures in a records room which only administration and secretarial staff have access, no work that has a student name and/or grade may be displayed or put where any other person besides the teacher could see, no release of any personal information over the phone, and many other policies set n place to protect the district, teachers and students. Although district policies are in place, there are some loopholes, which unfortunately result in litigation for non-compliance or different interpretation of the law.
In my opinion, the way St Margaret’s (My placement) develop and communicate policies and procedures is really effective. Any new or updated versions of the policies and procedures are reviewed by the SLT and are updated onto the school’s website for staff and parents/carers. I feel as though this is communicated considerably well as it allows parents to feel comfortable that these are in place so their child/children have enrolled and are being taught and looked after in safe and caring environment.
Our school, Marble Falls Middle school, has had an advisory program for many years now, yet, we are still perfecting it.
Using policies and procedures are necessary so that staff know what to do, when to do it and what they're expected to achieve. Following correct workplace instructions and policies help to maintain consistency and high standards in the delivery of services to the community/clients.
First step is demanding a policy solution has been identified, process of policy development is surrounded by a method including various problems it will be understood (Issues framing).
Specifically, I agree with the policies and procedures packet when it says that, “Class Communication and presentations,” are taken for grades because I do not speak very often in class this effects my grade. Also, stated in the policies and procedures the, “Most important item on the list [is] the right attitude,” which has a very big part in learning something because if you have a negative attitude you will not try as hard as someone you has a positive attitude and will not give up. Another, policy I agree with from the policies and procedures packet is that, “Success will require a reciprocal relationship.” Of course, for this relationship it suggest that, “Teacher[s] and students both must be responsible, accountable and productive.” Because, this is an important quality to have for your life. Not to mention, I think that all the policies set are to benefit everyone. To conclude, the policies and procedures are reasonable expectations that people should
The purpose of implementing this new program in my school is to build leadership skills in administrators, as well as improve teacher quality and thereby
All schools must have clear and concise policies, and procedures. They must be clear as to avoid any confusion, doubt, or ambiguity. All personnel involved within the school, whether it is teachers, pupils or parents must all follow the same set of guidelines and rules. All guidelines and policies should be readily available for staff to read and reference where necessary. The policies and procedures are there to make clear whom should be informed, whether an external agency needs to be informed/consulted, the way in which the school can deal with certain situations and the standard operating procedures in how things should be done.
Teachers being in a job in which at any moment they could be held liable for anything and face lawsuits makes it highly important for them to be aware of all the
