Policy Management is now considered a necessary tool for childcare organisations to achieve operational effectiveness & regulatory compliance. The Early Learning Management team is working to release an application that will ease the process and deliver compliance and departmental regulatory reporting.
The new application automates the entire Policy and Procedure process. Each key step from adding/revising documents, getting feedback, completing approvals to periodic reviews is fully integrated with built-in notifications.
Policy Management Software includes;
- Employee Attestation
- Audit Trail
- Capture Feedback from Reviews and Approvers i.e. Parents
- Collaboration i.e. Parents
- Related Document Capabilities i.e. Add Attachments
- Review and Approval Workflow
- Revision and Version Control
- Childcare Service Branding
Employees can access approved documents anytime, anywhere. Enforce acknowledgements for employees that they have read and understand any Policy, Procedure, SOP or other documents. Acknowledgements can be activated at the document level and are stored with a full audit trail. Employees can easily see what documents are outstanding and authors can view what acknowledgements are still outstanding.
While the provider is responsible for ensuring compliance with the FAL, individuals found to have contributed to certain breaches of the law, such as obtaining benefit by deception, or by giving false or misleading information, may also be subject to serious penalties, including imprisonment.
More information will be released as we start the roll-out process for interested services.
