University Policy Framework

The University has introduced (July 2010) a Policy Framework which provides the following descriptions:

‘A Policy is a statement of principles that staff, students and other applicable personnel must follow’.

‘A Procedure, subsidiary to a Policy, is an official way of doing something which must be followed’.

‘A Guidance Note or a Code of Practice is an advisory document that indicates a course of action that will usually be followed unless there is a good reason for not doing so.  They provide protocols, practice and guidance to ensure that staff and others can comply with specific Policies and Procedures’
