The policies, as drafts

More about this

A full draft of each policy the regulation requires, with quiz questions, kept current as the regulation changes, beside your own. Write the parts marked for your program and approve each one; staff see it once approved. A new version asks everyone to confirm again; the annual review starts a new cycle without changing the text.

The callout counts the drafts to review: "KeepCount's library writes each required policy in full. Open each one, write the parts marked in yellow, check the Preview, then approve it. Staff see a policy once it is approved; nothing reaches them before." "Approve several…" approves a batch once their parts are written; "Change the order…" sets the order staff see; "Bring in your own policies" takes your existing documents; "Add policy" writes one of your own.

Every licensee must have the written policies the regulation names and implement them at each centre (s. 6.1(1)), with a written way of monitoring compliance and recording contraventions (s. 6.1(7)). From January 1, 2027, where a policy gives the supervisor powers or duties it must name who exercises them when the supervisor is not on site and an urgent situation needs someone on site to act at once (s. 6.1(2), added by O. Reg. 197/26).
