Education authority policies
To take advantage of the advice available, the website includes advice issued by each education authority. Each authority is therefore being asked to provide a reference to their own advice, which will be included in the table below.
Authorities may also chose to make use of the policy frameworks and samples on this site by directing their staff to this material rather than producing their own local advice on each aspect. If authorities do chose to endorse the use of these materials in this way, the link which will appear in the table will be 'please refer to the frameworks and policies on this site'.
