What is a policy Approval Date?
All statutory and Mandatory policies, and any Good Practice policies where the policy created has marked 'Requires Approval', must be approved before they become visible.
- The Approval Team must read and agree the policy. Once they have done the policy will move from 'Awaiting Approval' to either 'Awaiting Reading' or 'Complete' depending on whether or not a Reading Team was selected.
- The Approval Date is that date that those required to approve the policy must do so by.
- The Approval Date will be automatically selected to be 2 weeks in the future at policy creation, however an alternative date can be selected as long as it is not in the past.
