It is the responsibility of managers to make sure that all staff are able to access procedures (via online access or by printing off paper copies for them). Managers of units should ensure they print out and retain all relevant procedures to meet registration and inspection requirements. New procedures are publicised to staff on the Council's Intranet and in staff Team Briefings.
