Lyttelton Primary School uses School Docs to review and update our policies and procedures.

In term 2 we are reviewing topics in the Employer Responsibilities section. See the full Review and Board Assurances Schedule.

Who reviews our policies and procedures?

• All reviews are open to board, staff, students, and the school community (parents/caregivers/whānau).
• Anyone can review any policy/procedure that has a review button.

The board is responsible for board-level overarching policies. The table below shows which topics the board should review. Note that other reviewers can review these topics too; they're not exclusively for the board.

Get started

The review opens Monday 29 May: to start reviewing, click on a topic name below, then click the Start your review button. If a link is inactive, your school doesn't have the topic.

Note that if you'd like to provide feedback on a topic that's not listed below, you can still do so if it has a review button.
