An essential part of the operation of a service is the development and implementation of policies that are relevant for its community, including children, families and staff. Polices provide an opportunity for a service to commit its values, philosophy and culture in writing and to clarify its expectations relating to behaviours, conduct and performance.

This information sheet provides Approved Providers, Early Years Managers/Service Directors, Committees of Management and Policy Officers guidance on the policy development and/0r review process and links to resources to inform policy content. The links contained within this information sheet provide the policy writer with useful information to consider during the drafting process from relevant and trustworthy sources.
