Frequently Asked Questions

Can The Documents be Customised?

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.

What Format are the Documents in?

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.

Are the Documents Suitable for my Business?

The content has been developed using the relevant standards, regulations and legislation. Therefore, our templates, manuals and toolkits are suitable for any industry and business type. We encourage you to customise the content to suit your sector and obligations and provide guidance where you are required to add your own content.

Are the Templates an 'Off the Shelf' Solution?

Every business is different and compliance documents need to reflect that. Whilst our templates and toolkits go a long way toward making you compliant, many of our documents do require some customisation to ensure that they are relevant and compliant. It is important that each document accurately demonstrates what your business does and how it does it.

The level of customisation required for each document will depend upon factors such as your size, scope and current compliance program. However, we are always on hand to answer any questions you may have and provide unlimited email support.
