Frequently Asked Questions

All our templates and policies are fully customisable and we encourage you to edit the content to suit your industry and business type. Much of the content is ready to use, but an effective policy should accurately reflect what your business does. Therefore, you should customise the content to mirror your business processes and obligations.

The templates are developed in Microsoft Office Word and are fully customisable and ready for corporate branding. They are compatible with most text editing software. Checklists and assessment templates are provided in an Excel format.
