What Goes in a Policy Register
A policy register is a central record of every policy your organisation holds. It answers five questions an inspector, auditor, or governing body will ask: what policies do you have, who owns them, when were they last reviewed, when are they next due, and who approved them.
For more on what policy management involves and why manual tracking breaks down, see our plain-English guide.
Who Needs a Policy Register
Any UK organisation subject to regulatory inspection or audit benefits from a structured register. Schools (Ofsted), GP practices (CQC), charities (Charity Commission), and councils (internal/external audit) all need to demonstrate that policies are current and governed.
