Instructions for the Policy Creator

The Policy Creator is very simple to use and mostly self-explanatory. It provides you with a basic framework and draft content for your policy, which you can then edit, develop and re-organise to suit your school's needs. The notes below set out the key functions that you will need.

Editing a section: Click on the + button and the section will open. Edit the section as required then click on the disk icon to save. Click on the – button to close.
Deleting a section: Click on the red X button.
Adding a section: Add the name of the new section in 'Title' on the right hand menu. Click on 'Add New Section'. The new section will appear at the bottom of the page.
Re-ordering the sections: Sections can be dragged to different places in the document using the tabs on the left hand of the section headings.
Saving / printing the document: Click on 'Generate document' on the right hand menu. Select open or save document as required. Once the document has been saved/opened it can be printed in the normal way. This function allows you to save the document to your school directories.

The Policy Creator will save your work so that you can amend the policy whenever you wish by logging onto the Healthy Schools' website.
