Policies and procedures templates ready to download

Hi Abigail

Save time in developing your own policies by downloading our collection of Charities Policies and Procedures Templates so you have them in place when you need them most.

The policies and procedures contained in this document are intended to be adapted and tailored to your specific organisation. Obvious slots exist for you to drop in your organisation name, or the job title of the relevant person, but it’s important to read through the policies fully before deciding whether further changes are required!

 

It’s deliberately low on formatting and design to make adapting it as easy as possible. Copying and pasting single policies into your own template should be easy, as should working the other way dropping your existing policies into this document to create a comprehensive staff handbook.
