QDU Policies and Procedures

Policies and procedures provide the framework for good practice for any organisation. Without policies and procedures you may well still have some good practice, however how can you be sure that everyone in your organisation are doing things correctly and to an acceptable standard? Furthermore without certain policies and procedures in place you may not be fulfilling your legal responsibilities. LAYC's QDU is here to help affiliated Edinburgh groups and clubs meet certain basic requirements around policies and procedures which will enable them to com[ply with new legislation.
